Best Waterpik Water Flossers for Dental Braces

Easier cleaning of dental braces and orthodontic appliances

Brushing and flossing dental braces and orthodontic appliances can be a challenge. The WATERPIK water flosser equipped with the Orthodontic tip is clinically shown to be up to 3X as effective for removing plaque around braces vs. brushing and string floss.

Our recommended water flossers for dental braces and orthodontic appliances come with the special Orthodontic tip. It features a tapered brush that removes hard-to-reach plaque around brackets, wires, and other orthodontic hardware (learn more about how to floss with braces using a WATERPIK water flosser).

Why is cleaning dental braces and orthodontic appliances important?

Food particles frequently get caught in brackets and wires. Plaque around brackets can cause decalcification (white spots) on your teeth. And additional hardware can make gum disease harder to prevent.
