Dentistry Today (5/11) reports that Christina Gordon, a student at the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Dentistry, “has invented a cleaning device for orthodontic patients who wear braces.” Her device, called the Proxy-Flosser, “simultaneously flosses and cleans around braces in one motion, saving time and money, the school said.” Gordon’s invention is “one of five projects awarded funding to help it reach the commercial market.”
