Nu Smile aligners are a fantastic way to straighten your teeth<\/a>, but keeping them clean is just as important as wearing them consistently. Proper flossing prevents plaque buildup, keeps your gums healthy, and ensures your aligners stay fresh. But how are you supposed to floss effectively while wearing clear aligners?
