Ortho Wax Plain

Suppose you have ever experienced dental discomfort and are not able to see a dental professional immediately. You know that you cannot focus on much else, and finding immediate relief is top of mind. Dental wax is an excellent solution if you need a comfortable, temporary fix to cover a protruding piece of a mouth appliance, such as braces or dentures.

Also known as orthodontic wax or tooth wax, it can provide a temporary cover of sharp surfaces inside your mouth and help protect your mouths soft tissues. Dental wax is a substance most often made from paraffin, beeswax, or carnauba wax. It's solid at room temperature but softens from the warmth of your hands.

It sticks to sharp surfaces inside your mouth and creates a smooth surface. Dental waxs primary use is to protect the mouths sensitive areas such as the gums, lips, and cheeks lining. It is usually transparent and unnoticeable when used. While the wax is generally flavorless, some varieties have added flavors like mint, cherry, or bubble gum.
