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.
What is The AutoFlosser?
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.
How do I use The AutoFlosser?
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.
How do I clean The AutoFlosser?
The AutoFlosser can be easily disassembled for cleaning. Rinse the parts thoroughly and reassemble in just a few minutes.
When FLOSSing Feels Too Tight
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.
Is The AutoFlosser effective for people with braces?
Absolutely. The AutoFlosser is ideal for navigating around brackets and wires, making flossing much easier during orthodontic treatment.
Will it work for bridges?
Yes. The AutoFlosser is specifically designed to help floss under fixed dental bridges where traditional flossing fails.
Is it good for bonded retainers?
Yes. The AutoFlosser allows you to floss easily around bonded retainers to maintain good oral hygiene.
Will it work for implants?
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.
What happens if the floss gets stuck?
If floss gets stuck inside the device, simply take it apart to remove the floss safely.
Can I use any floss with The AutoFlosser?
No. The AutoFlosser is designed to work specifically with AutoFlosser FLOSS strands, which feature a precision tip for guiding under appliances.
Where can I buy refill floss?
Refill floss is available on our website as a one-time purchase or through our convenient subscription plan.
Which FLOSS should I choose — STIFF-GLIDE or THIN-GLIDE?
STIFF-GLIDE FLOSS has a slightly thicker, stiffer end which works great for wide spaces and ALL-ON-X implant bridges. THIS-GLIDE FLOSS has a slightly thinner, softer end which works great for tight spaces and tooth supported bridges, braces, and bonded retainers.
Are replacement tips available?
Yes, replacement tips will soon be available for purchase directly on the website.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes! We offer a Lifetime Guarantee on The AutoFlosser handle exclusively to active floss-thread subscribers. It includes a free replacement if The AutoFlosser fails to work for any reason. Subscribing to FLOSS means your smile AND The AutoFlosser are protected!
How does this compare to water flossing?
Dr. Jackson believes that physically removing plaque with floss is more effective for maintaining gum health than water flossers alone.
Can my dentist help me use The AutoFlosser better?
Yes. In some cases, dentists can create a small notch in implant bridges
to make flossing with the AutoFlosser even easier.
