Make use of lukewarm water to soften and soothe gums so that it would be easier to remove bacteria, plaque and food particles. To provide your gums with additional protection from microorganisms, half fill the reservoir with fluoride mouthwash.
Select the flosser tip and attach it firmly to the unit’s handle. Regulate the pressure settings so that you’re beginning on the low initially and increase this gradually until you’re comfortable totally with the pressure level. It is ideal to start low as your gums are not hit suddenly with a very intense pressure which can lead to discomfort or even bleeding.
Now lean over the basin, put the flosser tip in your mouth, then shut your mouth and turn on the unit. The reason why we recommend you to do this over the sink is so that water wouldn’t spill on your clothes and floor which tends to happen since the water has to drip out of your mouth while you are flossing.
The best place to begin is at the back of your teeth since rubbles push forward from the water stream. Move the flosser tip along every tooth, from the gumline at your teeth’s back. While flossing one tooth, take the unit to the bracket and brush it gently and also the surface of the teeth surrounding it. Do this for every tooth until you are done.
As soon as you are done, turn off the unit before taking out the water flosser. Your braces, gums, and teeth should feel very clean now!
