Orthodontic treatment can help you achieve the smile of your dreams. However, it’s not always a painless, comfortable experience. Sometimes, braces, brackets, retainers, and other orthodontic appliances cause pain and irritation on your cheek, lips, and tongue.

In previous years, Sims Orthodontics would recommend a quality dental wax for patients who would like some relief from abrasions from their appliances. Ever since OrthoDots hit the market, we’ve made dental wax a thing of the past.

OrthoDots is known as the ideal alternative to dental wax. It’s made of biomedical grade silicone that is more flexible than dental wax by about 20 times. In addition to greater flexibility, OrthoDots offers a transparent design so nobody will ever know you have it in your mouth (unless you tell them, of course!) You may be surprised to learn that OrthoDots is 17 times more transparent than dental wax.

Any time your orthodontic treatment is causing you any discomfort, simply apply OrthoDots in the appropriate areas and wait for it to work its magic. This product is specifically formulated to be applied in moisture-rich areas so you don’t have to get the area super dry before applying it.

Believe it or not, you can eat and drink with OrthoDots in your mouth and if you swallow a dot by accident, no big deal because it’s 100% latex-free. While we use OrthoDots in our office, we also recommend that you take them with you in case you need relief while at home. We know you’ll love OrthoDots and wonder how you ever lived without this exceptional product.
