ABSTRACT:
A movable dental floss comprises an outer floss tensioning member and an inner floss tensioning member. The outer floss tensioning member and the inner floss tensioning member each have a pair of tensioning levers which face each other and a gripping portion, respectively. The gripping portions are connected, at their respective ends, to each other by a rotatable fixing portion so that one of them is swingable relative to the other. The pairs of the inner and outer floss tensioning levers are curved more at positions farther from respective branch portions thereof in a direction of the relative swing of the gripping portions. The pair of inner floss tensioning levers are rotated relative to the pair of outer floss tensioning levers to let the latter move in a direction of the height of teeth for removing contaminant on and between the teeth.
