About this product

Sixty Color Edition flossers for braces

Platypus Orthodontic Flossers Color Edition contains sixty handled flossers in purple, teal and white. The selected version is unflavored. Each flosser combines a bill-shaped end supporting the floss with a bracket brush at the opposite end. This construction is intended to help position floss around orthodontic archwires, where an ordinary fork-shaped pick may be awkward to maneuver. The count is sixty individual tools in one package, rather than sixty packs or a spool of loose thread.

The bill supports the floss beneath the wire

The package directs inserting the bill under the archwire and pressing it lightly against the tooth surface. Keep that contact as you guide the floss between teeth and up toward the gums. The bill supports the working thread and helps keep it taut. This is different from pushing the archwire aside or pulling it with the handle. The tool’s shape provides access; it does not establish that every orthodontic arrangement has identical clearance.

Maintain light pressure in difficult areas

For harder-to-reach spaces, the package advises keeping the bill lightly against the tooth to remove slack while you work the floss into the gap. Positioning and tension matter more than speed. Move carefully around brackets and wires, and avoid trying to overcome a poor fit with stronger pressure. If you cannot achieve comfortable access, ask your orthodontic team about the appropriate technique for your particular appliance and spacing.

Use the bracket brush for its separate task

The ridged bracket-brush end is intended to clean around brace brackets. It serves a different purpose from the floss stretched across the other end, so change your grip and positioning when switching tasks. The purple, teal and white assortment identifies the Color Edition; it does not represent three different flavors or three fit grades. Keep the package directions available when learning how to place the bill and maintain tension without pulling on the appliance.

Questions about this product

Are these ordinary floss picks or orthodontic flossers?

These are the Platypus orthodontic design, with a bill that goes under an archwire and a bracket brush on the opposite end. That shape is the relevant distinction when choosing a tool for braces. It is not simply a different-colored standard pick.

How do I keep the floss taut?

Place the bill under the archwire and press it lightly against the tooth surface. Maintain that light contact while sliding the floss between teeth and toward the gums. The package recommends the same approach to reduce slack in difficult areas.

What does the opposite end do?

It is a bracket brush for cleaning around brace brackets. Use it for that task after adjusting your grip and position. Its ridged working end should not be confused with an additional strand of floss or a replacement electric brush head.

Which colors and flavor are supplied?

The sixty-count Color Edition combines purple, teal and white flossers. This selected version is unflavored. The assortment does not establish separate flavors or sizes, and comments about other products should not replace the selected package identification.

Will the bill fit every orthodontic appliance?

The design helps reach beneath an archwire, but available clearance varies. Maintain light tooth contact and do not force the tool against brackets or wires. An orthodontic professional can help identify a suitable method if access remains difficult.

Do I need to thread a loose spool through the tool?

No. The floss is already supported by the handled flosser. Your task is to position the bill and guide that attached thread while maintaining light contact with the tooth. The pack supplies sixty complete flossers rather than a spool-and-threader kit.

We love them!

Why didn't these exist when I was a kid!? These little flossers make flossing so easy. Both of my boys have braces, and I love these things!

It doesn't fit well enough to actually floss and clean my son's gums.

Great for kids with braces

Fantastic for my 8 year old daughter's braces. She can floss on her own!

A great product

These were a great buy for my daughter. Using regular floss took her forever, so these have been a big help, and she keeps up with flossing much better with her braces. They also fit in her backpack so she can use them at lunch at school.

[Incentivized review]

Very easy to use with braces, and they get the flossing done faster and just as well as the string floss he used before. They've been a blessing, cutting his bedtime flossing time in half, and both his dentist and orthodontist compliment his oral hygiene.
