I have braces. A dentist "reccommend" these to me so that I would not have to use a floss threader. Mostly everyone with braces has this type of floss.Sure, it may save a little time, but it will waste A LOT of money in the long run. The normal waxed floss works just fine, probably even better. Please don't waste your money on Superfloss just because everyone else with braces is "reccommending" it to you.
