  • Publication number: 20230301763
    Abstract: A disposable dental flosser has a floss release feature that is operated with one hand. A movable section of a flosser provides a clamp that clamps one end of a length of floss. Deforming the movable section opens the clamp to release the end of the length of floss.

  • Patent number: 11284977
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to an apparatus for flossing teeth having a handle with a fixed anchor point for holding one end of a length of dental floss that passes through an eyelet and is affixed to a breakaway anchor tab on a lever. Breaking the breakaway anchor tab releases one end of the floss so that it may be pulled through a space between teeth. An adjustment lever allows for the easy transition of the flossing loop from tight for the insertion process to slack to enable the flossing process. The guidelines for flossing require that the flossing loop should form the required ā€œCā€ shape around the base of the tooth.
