发明名称 ORTHODONTIC FLOSSER
摘要 A flosser for cleaning contacts between two teeth attached to a wire brace includes a handle having a head, a first floss support coupled to the head and extending away therefrom, and a second floss support extending away from the head which includes an aperture disposed approximate a distal end thereof for supporting floss suspended between the first floss support and the second floss support. The second floss support is shaped for insertion between the wire brace and the two teeth while the suspended floss cleans the contact between the two teeth. A source spool is disposed on the handle for dispensing fresh floss, as well as a take-up spool for receiving used floss. The take-up spool and the source spool are configured to apply tension to floss suspended between the first and second supports.
