Abstract: The invention provides a flossing device to remove debris, food, plaque, and bacteria from in between the proximal surfaces of teeth undergoing orthodontic treatment. In an embodiment of the invention, a dental flossing guide comprises a lead portion and floss filament attached thereto and extending therefrom. The lead portion comprises two wires mechanically entwined with the floss filament and a soft flexible coating, with a good portion of the floss filament extending long enough to be grabbed by two hands. The flossing guide features a small diameter to fit between the orthodontic wire and the front portion of the tooth. The soft coating and a curvilinear tip of the flossing guide protects the gingival tissue when inserted into a patient's mouth. The flossing guide is used on patients that are undergoing orthodontic treatment to promote a healthy oral cavity environment. The flossing guide is easy to use by all ages.
