Found it!

Finally found the perfect floss...Target carries it for 3.49 for thirty pieces. A little expensive but definitely works the best. It slides easily between all of the crowding. I can even floss without looking. It only takes me five minutes now. To be fair it has a lot to do with having three less teeth. The only thing I don't really like about it is the packaging. They are individually packaged which is a little wasteful but I'm assuming its purpose is to keep the wax from drying out.

flossing...an Olympic event

So it never occurred to me how much more difficult is was going to be to floss after getting braces. It takes soooo unbelievably long. I did find a few flossing products that are supposed to help. The first one I tried was Plackers for Ortho...They don't fit the way they are supposed to..actually it seemed like they could cause some damage to my wires and when they did fit they were not very thorough. http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/plackers-orthopick-flosser-for-braces/ID=prod6039469-product



 I was hoping they would make flossing a little easier. Oh well. I have heard of a floss that has a stiff end so that you dont have to use the threaders. I think I will try those next.

Any suggestions are welcome. With 3 active kids around, I just don't have time to spent 20 mins just flossing my teeth in the morning.
