DentekFresh Mint Wax for Braces

Overview

Braces can be brilliant long-term and still annoying day to day, especially when a bracket corner or a wire end keeps catching the same patch of soft tissue. DentekFresh Mint Wax For Braces gives you a simple barrier: clean and dry the area, pinch off a small piece of wax, flatten it and press it over the bracket or wire that’s causing irritation. Use it as often as you need to.

The packet is deliberately pocket-sized, so it lives in a bag, purse or pocket rather than in a bathroom cabinet at home. Mint flavoured, so it tastes fresh while in place. Always consult your orthodontist about the care of your braces.

Specifications

What’s in the box

• DentekFresh Mint Wax For Braces, pocket-sized packet

Good for

• Brackets or wire ends rubbing against the inside of your lips or cheeks
• Rough spots that flare up after an orthodontic adjustment
• Keeping a comfort fix on hand at school, work or in your gym bag
• Night-time irritation when a wire keeps catching the same area

Things to consider

• Always consult your orthodontist about the care of your braces, and about any wire that has come loose or is poking.
• Wax is a temporary comfort measure that needs reapplying — it is not a repair for a damaged bracket or wire.
• The area needs to be clean and dry before application, so the wax will not stick well straight after eating or drinking.
