The 5 Best Water Flossers for Clear Aligners

After testing seven water flossers across a month of aligner wear, five rose above the rest. Here is how they ranked and who each one is for.
How we tested
Each unit was used twice daily, on the same teeth, at matched pressure settings. We tracked battery life, splash, tank size and how often the unit was actually used by the end of the week.
The shortlist
Top pick for travellers is a compact cordless that survived a flight without leaking. Best home unit has a larger tank and quieter motor.
