Easier Flossing of Dental Braces & Orthodontics for Adults, Teens, and Kids

No matter your age, cleaning and flossing dental braces can be frustrating and time-consuming

Many people with dental braces or orthodontic appliances simply don't floss because it's so difficult. Cleaning around dental braces and orthodontic appliances with regular dental floss requires a floss threader (which is time-consuming to use) and dental floss can easily shred or get stuck in hardware.

Waterpik® Water Flossers are faster, easier, and more effective to use than regular dental floss or a floss threader. And we have designed a variety of models that are ideal for adults, teens, and kids.

Why is Water Flossing Effective for Cleaning Dental Braces and Other Orthodontics?

Using an optimal combination of pressure and pulsation, the Waterpik® Water Flosser removes plaque and food particles from brackets and wires, and it massages and stimulates the gums. These actions help reduce plaque on the teeth and around hardware, while also improving gum health (learn more about how to floss with braces using a Waterpik® Water Flosser).

How Effective are Waterpik® Water Flossers?

An independent clinical study concluded that the Waterpik® Water Flosser is 3X as effective as traditional brushing and flossing combined and 5x as effective as brushing alone.

Water Flossers for Adults with Dental Braces

According to the American Association of Orthodontists, adults make up about 1 in every 5 orthodontic patients. Because adults are more susceptible to periodontal diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis, keeping teeth and gums healthy is important for successful orthodontic treatment.

Water Flossers for Teens with Dental Braces
