When you have braces, it’s more important than ever to keep your teeth and oral appliances clean so you can avoid discolored spots, which will be visible when the braces finally come off. You may be one of the many people out there wondering what compression bands ( also known as floss bands) are actually used for. Guimberteau, J. C., Delage, J. P., McGrouther, D. A., & Wong, J. K. F.

Kstar says you should be flossing everyday!

To evaluate if flossing can have a positive effect for athletes or patients, there is a need to compare different warm-up strategies and therapy modalities with a floss band treatment. It is known from the literature that a single stretching exercise can increase the range of motion of a joint (e.g., Konrad et al., 2017b); however, if the duration of the stretch exceeds >60 s, it is very likely that impairments in strength parameters will occur (Behm et al., 2016). Two studies from one research group investigated the differences between a floss band treatment and dynamic stretching (Kaneda et al., 2020b) and static stretching (Kaneda et al., 2020a). Compared to dynamic stretching, Kaneda et al. ( 2020b) reported a more pronounced effect with a floss band treatment in the increase in hip range of motion and one strength parameter (maximal eccentric knee extension torque). With regard to static stretching and the comparison with a floss band treatment, Kaneda et al. ( 2020a) reported that RFD was more pronounced in the flossing group than the static stretching group (calf muscles). Interestingly, while the mechanism for the increase in the range of motion following static stretching was considered to be reduced muscle stiffness, the floss band treatment showed neurological adaptations as suggested by the observed increase in stretch tolerance (i.e., higher passive torque at end range of motion). Kaneda and colleagues concluded in both studies (Kaneda et al., 2020a, b) that flossing should be applied as a warm-up treatment rather than as a stretching exercise. Yamaguchi, T.; Ishii, K.
