Flossing alternatives due to retainer?

    Hi
    I have a permanent retainer stuck onto the back of my bottom front teeth and that area has become one where plaque builds up quicker than the rest of my mouth. Due to the retainer, I'm unable to floss my front teeth.

    I have got the pink 0.4 Tepe interdental brushes, but theyre too big to fit into most of my teeth. They fit into one spot in between my 2 front teeth but it can't be moved up or down so I dont think cleaning with them is very effective.

    I visited my dentist and asked him about this, and he told me that tepe makes a smaller size. I've looked it up and he was mistaken. Hence I am asking here.
    Are there any alternatives? Even a different brand of interdental brushes that I could order online?
