Sharon Anderson, who works at a dental office, knows it’s important to floss.  But having braces makes it more difficult.

"When you have braces, it is nearly impossible," she said. "You have to pull it in and out of the brackets and try and get it up in there and it's kind of difficult."

She was eager to try Sturdyfloss, which claims to put the fun back in flossing by making it easier for folks with dental work to do it.

"I would love it if it does work because regular floss is so difficult to use," she added.

After opening the package, she noticed it was different from regular floss.

"The tough part about flossing is trying to get this little string in between your brackets and this makes it a little bit easier."

She said the guide at the end of the Sturdyfloss didn't bend, making it easier to get in and out of her braces.  She didn’t even need a mirror to floss, she joked.

"Maybe if they did a waxed version of it, it'd be a little bit easier, but as far as being able to get it in or out, no problems at all," she said, adding she liked it enough to buy. “I will use it, actually."

Sturdyfloss comes in a package of 20 for $2.99.
