Example:

Dental floss holder that allows you to change dental floss.

Conventional dental floss holders do not have the option of exchanging the dental floss.

The invention specified in claim (4) is based on the problem of creating a dental floss holder in which dental floss can be replaced.

This problem is solved by the features listed in claim (4) (the fastenings with the associated mounting flaps).

The invention ensures that the dental floss can be used in a clamped state with the help of the dental floss holder to clean the spaces between the teeth more easily. After cleaning the teeth, the dirty dental floss can be removed from the holder, disposed of and the holder cleaned with water. This ensures hygienic cleaning of the spaces between the teeth.

The dental floss should be attached to the front section of the dental floss holder (see Fig. 1) using the holder flaps (see Fig. 3).

The support flaps (see Fig. 3) should be attached to the support flap attachment (see Fig. 2) in such a way that both can act as a hinge on the pins.

When the brackets are open, the dental floss is placed on the upper part of the bracket flap fasteners.

When the hinge is closed, the dental floss is clamped in a kind of press fit so that it is held firmly and securely.

Now you can clean the spaces between your teeth using the dental floss holder. This procedure will be much easier with the dental floss holder, as you can reach the back molars better.

After cleaning the interdental spaces, the system can be opened and the used and contaminated dental floss can be removed. The dental floss holder can be rinsed with clean water for cleaning.
