Customer Review: Serious flossing problem
Summary: 1 Stars
I've used this for about a month to floss under a dental appliance. It's generally worked all right, although often the tip inserted between teeth would occasionally lose stiffness and I'd have to use a new one. The bigger problem is that it just tore and stuck under my appliance. I've tried for hours now to remove it using toothpicks, tweezers, and interdental brushes, but at this point I'm not sure it's even physically possible, since most of the fibers have shredded, leaving a tangled knot around the metal bar on my teeth. My gum is now bleeding. If the floss doesn't come out in the next day or two I may have to get the appliance removed entirely. There's no longer enough of the floss left to even grab onto. I was using these because the space is too tight for most dental brushes (the brushes with the small metal rod in the middle)--they just bend almost immediately, limiting them to 0-1 uses. I'm now extremely hesitant to use this product in the future, and I'm not sure how I'm going to clean under my dental appliance; if you are using this floss for that purpose, expect this to happen at some point or another. A day-ruiner, for sure.Customer Review: Terrible product! Avoid it!

I just spent over an hour trying to help my husband get this stuff out from between his teeth. The stretchy stuff shreds off and gets stuck in braces. I just read a review elsewhere about it too. The other person was able to save the day by repeatedly running knotted floss through the stuck spot. This did not work for us and we resulted to also using tweezers, toothpicks, and even a pin to scrape the stuff out. It kept fraying off as we went. Seriously, this problem started at 11pm and it is now 12;20am and we just finshed. I am not happy about this! The Oral B hotline does not have a pro manning the lines at this hour so they patched us through to a paramedic who basically told us that it being stuck in your teeth wont hurt you any. Really helpful, huh? I think I may never buy another Oral B product ever again!Customer Review: Horror show for flossing
Summary: 1 Stars
The puffy part completely shredded in my teeth, and even trying to remove it ended up jamming fibers between my teeth and gums. There's not enough to grab to pull out; I had to use another floss product to pull shreds out, one fiber at a time... I can feel it with my tongue behind my bottom teeth. I can't just leave it there because the fibers will collect food and plaque and basically be a rot-sponge.
This is torture. It's after midnight and I have to be up in a few hours. I just wanted to clean my teeth!
