I have to use Oral B Super Floss with threader, otherwise I can't get the floss thru the narrow gap between the teeth. In addition I have an expander on top which adds to the complications of flossing with braces. I do a very thorough job flossing each day, despite the extra time required.

I have a little cassette player on the bathroom counter and listen to a book on tape while cleaning my teeth to help the time go faster. So far, in two months, I'm halfway thru a 600 page book I'd always wanted to read, but never had the time.

By the way, I, too, like the ribbon floss if I could use it.
