Abstract: A flossing kit and tool include a floss cartridge having a length of floss and a pair of tip members each sized larger than a typical spacing behind arch wires of a set of braces, each fixedly coupled to opposite ends of the length of floss. Each tip member includes a coupling structure and a projection member and are coupled to the length of floss, wherein the projection member of at least one of the tip members is elongated and sufficiently narrow to be inserted into a typical spacing behind arch wires of a set of braces. The flossing tool includes a pair of floss handles each removably couple to one of the pair of tip members respectively. The flossing tool includes a release mechanism disposed within the cylindrical body that selectably couples and disengages from the associated coupling structure of the tip member when triggered.
