Dental wax has been around for quite some time. It’s a soft protector for patients with metal braces, Invisalign, or other orthodontic appliances. If you are going through an orthodontic treatment plan, you’ve probably used dental wax at some point.

Whenever a bracket or wire in your mouth breaks or becomes damaged and causes pain, applying dental wax can prevent painful abrasions, sores, and irritations in your mouth. While dental wax is a great invention, it does come with some imperfections.

All of its imperfections have been resolved with OrthoDots, the dental wax alternative that we can’t get enough of. It’s made of biomedical grade silicone and designed to 20 times more flexible than dental wax, offering you incredible comfort.

In addition to its incredible comfort, OrthoDots is 17 times more transparent than dental wax so it can be applied to your mouth without anyone ever know it’s there. It’s also easy to apply in wet areas so you don’t have to worry about any drying before application.

Another great perk of OrthoDots is that you can eat and drink with it in your mouth without worrying about swallowing it because it’s completely free of latex. If you come to Sims Orthodontics, you’ll find that we use it in our office and recommend it to our patients for at-home use.

While OrthoDots may take some getting used to, especially if you’ve used dental wax in the past, we have no doubts you’ll love it from the very first time you use it. You can use it regardless of whether you have traditional metal braces, Invisalign, or a retainer.
