デンタルレース 詰め替え可能 クリーンデンタルフロッサーハンドル - ステンレススチール 再利用可能 デンタルフロスピック 1フィート (1パック)

Excellent A little bit awkward at first but perseverance and time has helped - I would buy again (but I don’t expect I will need too) Much more environmentally friendly than most toothpicks

This would be a good product if there was a way to thread the floss through the top of the pick’s arms instead of just an open sided holder for it. When I pull the floss out from between my teeth it comes out of the holder and needs to be rethreaded, which is tedious for every tooth.

In the pics this looks like a metal version of the Flossaid floss holders I've been using for years. Since I broke my last Flossaid I figured I'd give this a try since it is made from stainless steel. It is not nearly as good as Flossaid. Not even close. For starters, the area where you string the floss across is about half as big as Flossaid's is. This gives you almost no length of floss with which to scrape back and forth between your teeth. The handle is also a lot shorter which makes it much harder to hold onto and control. Finally, the metal is heavy and thick enough that if you slip with it (which is easy to do because of its miniscule proportions) you will absolutely damage ypur teeth. So what seemed like a great design idea at first (metal) is actually a very bad idea. The tool will never break, but your teeth definitely will.

This is a great idea for flossing. It helps reach the back teeth a lot more easily. There is a complication in the tool, is that the sharp edges on teeth cut the floss almost instantly. The problem arises because you cannot feel where the floss is being placed, like with your fingers, and the floss gets cut numerous times. If you want to keep rethreading floss onto the tool, it is a great tool to use. The threaded knurl post is intended to be tightened down so it doesn't slip, prior to wrapping floss around it. After being threaded into the jaws, the final wraps secure all the floss in place. It works rather well, unfortunately, sharp teeth edges break the floss more often than I care to keep threading floss back onto the tool after being broken.

The handle works well, just as I optimistically expected. It's easy to put floss on it and to use it to floss teeth. The handle is comfortable in the hand at all angles, it's not sharp or uncomfortable in the mouth, the floss stays on the handle. There are plenty of bad reviews that I can see now are operator error. First, the floss must be good quality, not the low quality stuff that comes with the handle. Good floss stretches a little, so the length tied to the handle has some slack allowing it to curve around the tooth for flossing it, then the one next to it, before moving on. The little rounded prongs at the tips keep the floss on well. But all that requires a little skill, keeping the floss tensioned by pushing the handle forward while working the floss between and then against the teeth. Closely spaced teeth require some working side to side along the floss to get in there at first, then flossing, then side to side again back out. That can wear the floss faster, so replacing it once or more during the operation is good practice. Which also gives fresh floss for the next teeth. So put double the length of floss needed to load it and screw it down, then unscrew/advance/rescrew the screw clamp as teeth are done and the floss wears. Any flossing requires a little skill, and this handle's skills are a little different, but only a little. Once up to skill it's much easier with the handle than barehanded. I'd give the handle 5 instead of 4 stars, but it could be improved. The screw clamp could have a flange on the back side of the handle so it can't screw all the way out and drop off. Instructions could be included for people who can't figure out the slightly different skills. The included floss is garbage, including its plastic bag, which is just a waste. But otherwise the handle works very well, is cheap and durable. At about 25% higher price than a pack of flimsy plastic versions that will break / wear out within months, this handle will last for years, and is well worth it.
