Holder for using dental floss - stretched between spherical ends of U-shaped holder for gum massage

摘要

The holder is made of plastic and comprises a U shaped frame (1) having on the bottom, a suitable handle (4) for manipulation during use. Each leg of the U shaped frame has a spherical extremity (2) which forms a seating for the dental thread (3). This is moulded into each sphere and is stretched across the space between. To use the holder, the dental floss is placed into the interstices between the teeth and moved to and fro; this motion removes foods particles. At the same time, the ball on each end contacts the gums in the area of use and massages them.
