X-Ribbon

Invented by Lise Slack, an Australian dental hygienist with 30 years experience in mainly perio and prosthodontic practices, iDontix X-Floss consists of a firm threader with bulky floss attached to it. The principle of special bridge/implant floss is familiar to dental professionals however there is an unspoken need for a floss which is more effective and easier to use. The firm threader makes it easier for patients to get through under bridges and to reach over the deep flanges of fixed upper dentures supported by implants. The bulky floss cleans properly under bridges, around implants supporting dentures and the abutments of implant bars. X-Floss can be used to clean under the wide 'tulip' shaped crowns of single posterior implants. Adult patients with orthodontic appliances can use X-Floss to clean in between teeth by using the threader to reach the interproximal spaces.
