The Flaüs electric flosser produces 12,000 sonic vibrations per minute and uses replaceable, toxin-free floss to remove plaque and debris from places that toothbrushes can’t reach, according to the company.
Also, the flosser’s ergonomic handle is designed to let users reach those areas while keeping their fingers and uninvited germs out of their mouths. Built-in LED tracking technology provides visual cues to help users maintain healthy oral hygiene habits as well, Flaüs said. And, the waterproof and rechargeable device runs for a month on a single charge.
“Flaüs not only benefits the avid flosser seeking a better experience but also those who do not floss due to it being painful, gross, time-consuming, and difficult,” said Samantha Coxe, cofounder and CEO of Flaüs. “It was created in collaboration with dental professionals for an easy, quick, and comfortable clean.”
“Flaüs makes flossing easy, provides a great clean, and is gentle on gums,” said Vivian Roknian, DMD. “Being a dentist, I am picky about what I personally use and recommend for my patients, and I love Flaüs.”
Flossing typically removes plaque from between the teeth and underneath the gums, which account for 40% of a tooth’s surface that a toothbrush can’t access.
“I tell my patients to floss the teeth they want to keep. In my practice, it’s clear that people who floss daily have healthier gums and keep their teeth longer,” said Roknian.
Traditional string floss and floss picks can be harmful to the environment as well, Flaüs said.
“We were shocked to learn that more than 8 million tons of plastic, including toothbrushes and dental floss, are released into the oceans each year,” said Flaüs cofounder Taylor Jolin.
The Flaüs flosser is made from plant-based materials and infinitely sustainable aluminum, the company said. It comes with a three-month supply of Flaüs heads, which are designed for daily use while being easy to replace, biodegradable, and compostable.
The flosser will be available for pre-order soon via Indiegogo at an early bird rate of $79.99 instead of the $149.99 standard retail price.
