Looking for recommendations for a water flosser please. I’ve tried looking up reviews but would love some recommendations from people who’ve used them.

I would be especially grateful to hear from people who use them who have braces (or know of people with braces). Thanks

Sometimes the waterpik is too harsh and can make her gums sore despite using it for years and having really healthy gums. The sonicare sprays in multi directions so it gets around the brackets really well and cleans them better. Because it is not a direct spray it is gentler and cleans more areas at once.

She was resistant to changing at first but after using it just once she was hooked on it and loves using it. Everyone is different, but she has tried about four different kinds of water flossers and feels this one cleans the best for her. She is really fastidious about cleaning her teeth and braces. I don't have braces but like how clean my mouth feels when I use mine too. I even got my DH to start using one and he hates water flossers and flossing with a passion 🤣

Thank you. I like the idea of it being more gentle due to the potential problems the more powerful ones can create. I researched them after I read your first post. What I found, together with posts, have led me to order one for me and one for my husband. So I really appreciate your posts 🙂

Thanks. My main motivation for looking at them is that my DS has just got braces and they’ve really hammered home that his teeth need to stay in good condition for them to continue treatment. I’ve paid a fortune for the braces. He’s very good at looking after his teeth. Just trying to look for ways to help. Thanks all

Edited

If u go in boots they have special flossing things for people with braces I know because I was in the buying floss pics only yesterday x
