Flossolution debuts Max, Lite, and Mini designed with Flossguard, Bite Bumper, and Microfloss technology to give consumers an easy, fast, and pain-free flossing solution.

Flossolutionhas announced the launch of its newest line of products, Max, Lite, and Mini. Developed by dentist Dr. Tim Pruett, the goal of Flossolution oral care products is to clean 100% of tooth surfaces, not just the 60% cleaned with brushing alone.

Max is the first oral care system to provide both sonic flossing and sonic brushing in one product. Max provides five sonic power modes, including Smart, Fresh, Bright, Happy, and Healthy. Max comes with a rechargeable battery that lasts more than four weeks. The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) is $99.99.

Lite offers all of the brushing and flossing features of Max, except for the sonic energy. The Lite is beneficial for those in need of a smaller alternative for traveling or those who prefer a manual oral hygiene device. The MSRP is $17.99.

Mini is perfect for on-the-go flossing. It includes 10 reusable Microflossers and a suction cup mount for easy placement on bathroom countertops and mirrors. The MSRP is $9.99.

“It’s not that patients don’t realize the importance of regular flossing; it’s that we’re asking them to use products that are inconvenient and add too much time to their daily routine,” said Dr. Tim Pruett, CEO of Flossolution. “Some of the most common problems that dentists see are tooth decay, gum disease and toothbrush abrasion. With Flossolution, not only have we eliminated the issue of not wanting to put your fingers in your mouth to floss, we’ve created a product that takes seconds to switch from flossing to brushing, while providing features that help prevent unnecessary trauma to teeth and gums.”

The Flossguard safely protects gums from flossing trauma by keeping the floss in the recommended position and controlling the depth the floss can travel as it moves between tooth and gum. The Bite Bumper acts as a soft pad for opposing teeth allowing for gentle biting pressure to be applied during flossing. Microfloss is the thinnest floss on the market and glides between teeth easily with little resistance. Max, Mini, and Lite are ergonomically designed to encourage a fingertip grip, rather than a palm grip, to help eliminate the unnecessary force used by most when brushing.

The Flossarm and Brusharm replacements are sold online and are compatible with both Max and Lite. The Flosser 50-pack, which includes 50 Microflossers, is compatible with Max, Lite, and Mini. Each Microflosser can be reused up to 10 times, and Flosser 50-pack replacements are also available online.
