Industry knowledge

Buletedan Technonlogy's PTFE dental floss is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material, which has good smoothness and low friction characteristics, reducing the resistance during use. Its monofilament structure design avoids the problem of traditional braided dental floss being easily fluffed or split, ensuring a stable and efficient cleaning process. The strong and tough characteristics of PTFE material make the dental floss not easy to break, while maintaining sufficient flexibility to fit the curvature of the teeth and effectively remove dental plaque and food residues. This dental floss is suitable for people with tight teeth or sensitive gums. Its smooth surface reduces irritation to the gums and reduces discomfort. The slender wire diameter design enables it to penetrate into narrow teeth that are difficult to reach with ordinary dental floss, achieving more thorough cleaning.

1. Function of PTFE Dental Floss Pick
PTFE dental floss picks can effectively clean between teeth and at the same time improve the safety and comfort of use.

Easily traverses tight spaces: Its most significant value lies in its ability to glide virtually frictionlessly into the tightest spaces. Where traditional nylon floss struggles to reach, or even tears or gets stuck, PTFE floss picks offer the perfect solution.

Excellent plaque removal: Despite its exceptionally smooth glide, the PTFE floss's strong, monofilament structure adheres closely to the tooth surface, effectively scraping away plaque and delivering uncompromising cleaning efficiency.

Protective to tooth enamel and gums: Its smooth glide means it doesn't cause excessive abrasion to tooth enamel like some unwaxed, multi-filament flosses. It also effectively reduces the risk of gum damage and bleeding caused by aggressive glide.

Benefits for orthodontic and prosthetic users: For those wearing braces, crowns, or bridges, PTFE floss is less likely to split or get stuck on the edges of restorations, providing a safer and more convenient cleaning option.

2. How PTFE Dental Floss Picks Work
The unique advantages of PTFE dental floss picks are entirely due to their core material: polytetrafluoroethylene, a high-performance polymer known as the "King of Plastics."

Low Coefficient of Friction: PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction among known solid materials. This means that when PTFE dental floss contacts teeth, it generates minimal friction, resulting in a "silky-smooth" passage. Users can gently guide the floss into the gingival sulcus without the need for forceful pulling.

Single-Filament Construction, Strong and Resistant to Splitting: Unlike traditional nylon dental floss, which is made up of multiple strands of twisted filaments, PTFE dental floss is a single, unbroken filament. This construction offers two key advantages:

No Splitting Worries: Unlike multi-filament dental floss, PTFE dental floss will not frizz or split during use, ensuring the integrity and cleaning efficiency of each stroke.

High Tensile Strength: The single-filament construction makes it extremely strong and difficult to break even under tension, providing a reliable and secure cleaning experience.

Efficient "C"-shaped scraping: Despite its smoothness, PTFE dental floss itself has appropriate rigidity and elasticity. Once it enters the teeth, it can still be bent into a "C" shape like all excellent dental floss, tightly wrapping the side of the tooth. As it moves from the gum sulcus to the occlusal surface, it thoroughly scrapes away plaque through physical friction.
