Everything You Need to Know
Flossing with appliances like implants, bridges, braces, or bonded retainers isn’t always easy. The AutoFlosser was built to change that. This page answers the most common questions about how it works, who it helps, and why it’s a smarter way to protect your oral health.
The AutoFlosser is an innovative oral care device designed for individuals who struggle to floss due to implants, bridges, braces, or bonded retainers.
It allows for easy, effective flossing in hard-to-reach areas that traditional floss can’t access.
Insert the AutoFlosser floss strand into the handle, position the soft tip where you need to floss, and turn the wheel to glide the floss under your dental appliance.
The AutoFlosser can be easily disassembled for cleaning. Rinse the parts thoroughly and reassemble in just a few minutes.
If The AutoFlosser feels tight or difficult to insert, try the following tips to improve access and comfort:
Read the User Manual carefully to ensure proper technique.
Practice using The AutoFlosser outside of your mouth to become familiar with how it moves and threads.
Try both FLOSS versions — THIN-GLIDE and STIFF-GLIDE — to see which fits best for your spacing.
Bring The AutoFlosser to your dentist or hygienist to see if your appliance can be modified (for example, adding The AutoFlosser Notch).
Keep practicing — it gets easier with time and experience.
Absolutely. The AutoFlosser is ideal for navigating around brackets and wires, making flossing much easier during orthodontic treatment.
Yes. The AutoFlosser is designed to make flossing around dental implants simple and effective. The threader tip allows the floss to glide smoothly under and around implants where traditional flossing usually fails, helping prevent plaque buildup and protect gum health.
If floss gets stuck inside the device, simply take it apart to remove the floss safely.
No. The AutoFlosser is designed to work specifically with AutoFlosser FLOSS strands, which feature a precision tip for guiding under appliances.
Refill floss is available on our website as a one-time purchase or through our convenient subscription plan.
It depends on your dental work and spacing. THIN GLIDE FLOSS is ideal for tighter spaces and everyday cleaning around natural teeth. STIFF GLIDE FLOSS is designed for bridges, implants, and permanent retainers — anywhere you’d normally need a threader. Many users keep both on hand for flexibility and comfort.
Yes, replacement tips will soon be available for purchase directly on the website.
