This bundle includes the Slate Electric Flosser Starter Kit and one package of 20 Orthodontic Floss Heads. Flossing with braces has never been this simple!
Flossing with braces has never been this simple! The Slate Flossers slim flosser arm slide easily under the braces wire and between the brackets. Rubber bristles brush the sides of the brackets as the flosser head slides under the wire. While the rubber ribs scrub the outward facing surface of the teeth as the flosser head slides under the wire. Saving you a significant amount of time compared to using traditional floss and a floss threader. Not to mention way less messy and more effective than using a water flosser!
For years, Dr. Snyder has used dental instruments of all shapes and sizes to clean and repair his patients' teeth. Design cues from these tried and true tools were crucial in developing a handle for the Slate Electric Flosser that was ergonomic and effective at easily accessing each and every tooth in the mouth. The one-piece design of the handle with contra-angle neck provides the precise control necessary for flossing. The vibrating motor is located within the neck of the flosser to maximize vibration to the floss head.
Handled flossers have existed for years, greatly simplifying the dreaded task of cutting off the circulation of the fingers. But the goal of flossing with braces is not to just pass a piece of string between our teeth. The goal is to remove as much of the plaque and bacteria from between our teeth and brackets as possible.The design of our patented Bracket Sweeps mimic the shape of your brace heads, teeth and gums. Strategically placed ribs and bristles sweep and remove the plaque and food particles that normally remain undisturbed after brushing alone. It may sound complicated, but it's as easy as sliding the floss head back and forth from tongue-to-cheek. Simple. Easy. Effective.
Other flosser brands recommend that the floss heads be changed after every use, but the replaceable floss heads of the Slate Electric Flosser are designed to last. Depending on how tight the user's tooth contacts are and whether their teeth or fillings have sharp edges, our floss heads have proven to last between one to three weeks. For best results, we recommend that the floss head be replaced each week. With twice daily use compared to single-use floss heads or floss picks, Slate floss heads can keep almost 700 floss picks from hitting the landfill per year.
The gentle vibration of the slate electric flosser helps the floss pass through tooth contacts with ease. As you move the floss head in toward your tongue and out toward your cheek, the anatomically shaped gum sweeps slide perfectly into position, hitting bacteria right where it hurts.
