Tooth Flosser?!


Question: There is a device that looks like a little pipe cleaner that you can use to clean inbetween your teeth. This is a good device if your teeth are really close together and you tend to break the dental floss (string). Anyway...I can't remember what it's called. I am trying to find someting about it on the Internet. However, I have been unsuccessful.

My questions are: Does anyone know what I am talking about? What is it called? And is there a website that talks about it?

I know what you are talking about, it looks like a little christmas tree, they are used for cleaning braces or people who have teeth that are very far apart.
If you use a tool like that on your teeth the little piece of gum that grows inbetween your teeth will get worn away and it will look awfull.
You need to use WAXed floss, its floss with a waxy coating to help it slide between teeth that are very close together.
theres a floss called SATTIN, its very good, thin and slides easily, I have the same problem with my teeth and this is the brand i use. Hope this helps

Also, there's a brand called Glide floss. It's great for teeth close together. It's smooth and real strong so there's less shredding. I believe it's a gore-tex material. I love it!
