I usually get a long piece of floss, wrap it around two fingers and after I\u2019ve flossed my top teeth, I sort of adjust the floss so that a section I haven\u2019t used can be used for my bottom teeth. I hope that helps! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Corina Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Depends how long the strand is. My dental hygienist suggests only using a particular section of floss for 3 teeth.  You can make it go further by rinding the gloss as you go.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Irma Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes as long as it\u2019s long enough of a piece to have a clean section for the top and bottom.
