Orthodontic wax can be a lifesaver when your braces are rubbing against your cheeks or lips. The trick is knowing how to use it the right way!

How to use orthodontic wax properly:

👉 Wash your hands before touching the wax
👉 Brush and floss to remove food particles first
👉 Dry the bracket or wire with a tissue
👉 Use a small pea-sized piece of wax
👉 Roll it into a soft ball
👉 Press it over the bracket or wire causing irritation
👉 Smooth it down and make sure it stays in place

❌ Avoid using too much wax, placing it over food, or leaving the same wax on for several days.

😟 Noticed a gap between your teeth after braces?

Common reasons teeth gaps come back:

1️⃣ Skipping your retainer, even for a few nights
2️⃣ Natural movement of your teeth
3️⃣ Gums and bone healing after braces
4️⃣ Tongue thrust or other habits that push teeth forward
5️⃣ Sometimes, tooth size and jaw space don't match, causing small gaps after alignment

Your smile is worth protecting. Keep wearing your retainer exactly as your orthodontist recommends.
