PlatypusCo Orthodontic Flossers

The PlatypusCo flossers feature a specialized, thin spatula-like end designed to slide effortlessly under your arch-wire. This allows you to position the floss without needing to manually thread it through, which is the main challenge with traditional floss.

These flossers are specifically engineered for traditional braces with brackets and wires. While they can technically clean between teeth, they are optimized for navigating around orthodontic hardware, so they may not be the most efficient choice for clear aligner users.

Yes, because the design eliminates the time-consuming process of threading floss behind each wire. Once you get the hang of the spatula end, most users find they can complete their entire mouth in under two minutes.

These are designed as single-use disposable floss picks. Reusing them is not recommended, as the floss can fray or lose tension after one session, and it is less hygienic for your oral health.

The tool is designed to be gentle on orthodontic hardware. The spatula end is flexible enough to slide under wires without applying excessive pressure, provided you use a steady, controlled motion.
