Good product

6/27/25: Found a great alternative/substitute/replacement for this product (https://a.co/d/dZJlvdw). You can thank me later. This product has completely changed and definitely not for the better. The OG (Oral-B Glide Pro-Health Threader Floss) was an amazing product - individually-wrapped, waxed threader floss that worked perfectly for people like me who have permanent retainers. Used it for years and almost never had any issues (occasionally a knot would form when unrolling the floss, which really wasn’t a big deal). Just a great product that didn’t need to be changed at all. Lo and behold, some genius at Oral-B decided that this fantastic product needed to be updated. This updated product (Oral-B Threader Floss) is just a terrible product. First of all, it’s no longer waxed - that’s a huge downgrade. Not only that, now the floss is like a fluffy cotton that just drags against my metal retainer and shreds along the way. Using it is such an unpleasant experience for me that I can’t even fathom how anyone else could stand to use it. MAYBE if you don’t have a permanent retainer you can get away with using it, but even then it doesn’t feel good using this stuff below your gum line. It’s just too thick and there’s too much friction. Don’t even bother buying this anywhere but in person - that’s the only way at you can be sure that you get the original version (plenty of people have posted pictures of the packaging you need to look for). Everyone should call and/or write to Oral-B to complain about this garbage new product That and not buying the new version is probably all we can do to try to get them to bring the old version back. As for myself, I’ll be buying up all of the old stock at my local stores. Once that’s all gone, I’ll have to find an alternative Never using the new version again.

They work good for permanent partials or bridges

The easiest product to clean under implanted dentures.

The first thing I noticed when I got braces (round 2, wear your retainers kids) was my usual ritual of hitting up the Glide Pro-Health floss was totally out. I think Glide makes the best floss, on the opposite end of the spectrum of that stuff you can buy at gas stations which is about as good as a thread from a dirty shirt. At first I tried what I was given, to loop or tie it on those fishing line threaders. That's like running hard, pokey plastic through your teeth before each pull, and accidentally biting down is like getting a small piece of bone, almost enough to break a tooth I swear. You would be forgiven for thinking those were the only solution looking in stores or from what the orthodontist says, it's only thanks to Amazon I ever heard of these. This integrates a bit of rigid line in the end of the floss, unimpeded by annoying bumps or knots (unless you make one, which will be as gentle as doing that with Glide normally). I did have to deduct a star because it is possible to pull the threader back and have it peel open. The thread does not shred in a low quality fashion, it's just it may slowly peel back starting at the base of the threader, revealing a bit of hard line that not only could poke you with extra hard leverage, but perhaps contains a slightly odd, although not orally unsafe adhesive. Really I've only done this a few times, and I probably shouldn't be pulling the threader backwards even though I like to. Plus it's that internal hint of firm, waxy gel that really gives this its bend and push and makes it work so well. I'm just happy I can keep using Glide like nothing's changed, and I'm sure I'll keep these on hand even when I'm done with braces.

The best flooss out there. Especially if you have dental bridges. The only drawback is that it’s a bit expensive.

The best product I have ever used for many years

My Orthodontist introduced me to this product several years ago. At that time I could only purchase this product through her as this is not sold in Canada. I love using this floss because its width works perfectly between my teeth as I have brackets and wire still holding my teeth so they don’t shift. I have tried other Glider products but this works best for me. So happy I can now order them.

Excellent quality. Can't seem to be able to buy these in the UK for some reason. I always used to stock up when travelling to the US which I no longer do.

very effective
