Product Description

The Platypus Ortho Flosser comes in a bag of 30 flossers, and is changing the way the world flosses with braces. Gone are the days of threading endlessly for hours - now you can floss and go OR simply floss on the go! The floss end of The Platypus has a unique spatula-like end that slides between your wire and your teeth. By gently pressing against your teeth the floss is tightened and you are flossing! On the opposite end of the Platypus, you have a brush for cleaning those hard to reach areas around your brackets.

With a bit of practice, the Platypus is fairly easy to use for people with braces. But similar to other reviewers, I found that this product shreds easily. I would need to use 2 each time I floss. Given the cost, I found that I'm much happier using Super Floss instead.

Being 39 and having braces for the SECOND TIME, I forgot how difficult and time consuming it is to floss your teeth. I hoped that I would be with those who love this product. Unfortunately, I'm not. While the design is great and I can fit the front of the flosser between my teeth and wire, the quality of the floss is what is this products biggest fault. It is cheap and shreds. I'm lucky to get one use out of it. If only the floss was a better quality and uses more a glide floss it would be 100% better and very usable. Guess I'll try the Super Floss everyone is recommending.

Unlike the other poster, I love this product and it works VERY well on my bottom teeth. I suppose if your teeth are unusually close together than it may not work for you. I am able to use each flosser 3-5 times before the floss breaks, so a 25 pack will last me over three months. The value in this product can not be stated by cost per unit, for me the value is in the time saved every day. It is tedious and time consuming to floss braces with standard threaded floss, over ten minutes every night, now I can floss in under two minutes!!! I am a busy mom and this product is worth it's weight in gold!!!!
