An orthodontic flossing implement and method of use thereof, wherein the present implement comprises a handle from which extends a flat, narrow arm, and wherein the tip of the arm comprises a slit or aperture through which a desired length of floss is inserted. The narrow arm, with the length of floss threaded therethrough, may be quickly and simply inserted underneath a selected arch or pass of a brace wire, wherein the length of floss hanging from the arm aperture may then be easily grasped and worked within and along the inter-dental space disposed proximate or behind the selected wire arch. Thereafter, the arm of the flossing implement is retracted and systematically moved between each arch of the wire, whilst maintaining the floss through the aperture of the arm, whereupon each respective underlying inter-dental space may be conveniently and quickly flossed.
