Fixed braces are usually made from metal brackets and wires; these can rub against the inside of your mouth and gums making them sore. Applying orthodontic wax to the offending part of the brace will make you more comfortable. How to Use Orthodontic Wax Break off a pea-sized piece from one of the sticks (there's five sticks in each little box).

Roll the wax between your fingers and push it onto the area of the brace which is causing you pain. IMPORTANT : The bracket and wax must be dry for the product to work. Put the Orthodontic Wax over and behind the bracket to give the wax something to stick to; don't try and stick it to your teeth! Clear medical grade wax, scent of your choice Relief from braces rubbing your cheeks and gums Available in coloured plastic boxes; easy to find in your bag Box dimensions : 5.2cm x 3.5cm x 1cm 2 Boxes of five strips of wax supplied per order Ideally remove the wax when you eat to stop the wax from sticking to your food and coming away from your braces.

If it's too painful to eat without the wax then always replace with fresh wax after eating. If you accidently swallow the wax, don't panic; it's made from natural wax so it isn't dangerous. Always remove the wax before brushing your teeth as it will stick to the toothbrush bristles....and your teeth definitely won't get a good clean! Wax can break down by itself and become loose, otherwise a toothpick will help you to remove it.

It's safe to sleep with wax on your braces.
