Flossing with braces...
I recently had braces on and as an adult I know how important it is to floss. Well if you ever have had braces you know it is not an easy task. I had a friend tell me about Glide Threader Floss from Crest. No more threading the floss through the little hook each time. This is a string of floss with a threader tip on it, which makes it easy going in between your brackets. If you have not used it before it is worth trying!
