Abstract: This invention describes a device and process used to aid in flossing the teeth of an Orthodontic Appliances (braces) patient. The device is a short, thin "spaghetti" sized guide tube combined with dental floss. A length of floss is inserted into the guide tube. The floss and guide tube are easily pushed into the space between the user's teeth and the braces inserting the floss. The guide tube is removed from the space and allowed to rest on an unemployed section of floss. The guide tube is slightly coiled during manufacture and clings to the unemployed section of floss and does not require rethreading of the floss through the guide tube for each tooth. The procedure is repeated for subsequent teeth. A modified tube version includes an enlarged funnel like end to simplify the threading of floss into the tube.
