Dental wax is made of natural ingredients like beeswax, paraffin wax, and carnauba wax. It is typically used to cover brackets that may cause abrasions on the tongue, cheek, and lips. We like to call it a great solution to pain and irritation from orthodontic treatment. While it can be effective and offer relief, dental wax is not perfect and comes with some downsides. That’s where OrthoDots come in.

Here at Sims Orthodontics, we are pleased to offer OrthoDots, an excellent alternative to orthodontic wax. OrthoDots is comprised of biomedical grade silicon that is 20 times more flexible than traditional dental wax. It remains on brackets for longer than traditional dental wax and are far less noticeable thanks to their transparent design. Believe it or not, it is 17 times more transparent than dental wax.

If you are experiencing any pain or irritation from braces, brackets, retainers, or other orthodontic appliances, all you have to do is apply it and enjoy relief. You’ll love how comfortable it is to apply and be able to eat and drink with it in your mouth.

With OrthoDox, there’s no need to worry about getting the area super dry and the wax falling out of your mouth. Also, since it is latex-free, you don’t have to be concerned about anything bad happening if you happen to swallow them.

OrthoDots is truly the ideal alternative to traditional dental wax and highly recommended to all of our patients. We use it in our office and suggest that our patients use it on the go. Once you try OrthoDots, we’re confident you’ll never bother with traditional dental wax again.
