Yes, when you have braces, it’s recommended to use specialized orthodontic floss. Regular floss might struggle to navigate around the wires and brackets of braces, potentially leading to inadequate cleaning and discomfort. Orthodontic floss is designed with a stiffer end that can be threaded under the wires and between the teeth, making it easier to clean effectively around your braces and maintain good oral hygiene. This floss helps prevent plaque buildup, reduces the risk of cavities, and promotes overall dental health while wearing braces.
