If you have a mouth full of wires and brackets, then this must mean that you decided to go the traditional route on your orthodontic journey. Traditional braces are one of the fast methods used to straighten teeth because of the fixed position that the metal is placed in. Though traditional braces straighten teeth in no time, they may cause discomfort to the patient. Fortunately, Dr. Eric M Meyer, DDS, has a solution – dental wax.
Dental wax is a safe, non-toxic wax, which is used to protect the lips, cheeks, and gums from the metal in the mouth. Dental wax makes the first few months of orthodontic treatment bearable as your mouth gets used to the equipment inside. If you have pain and irritation that is caused by the sharp end of your appliance, talk to Dr. Eric M Meyer, DDS about getting it fixed or simply ask for dental wax the next time you are in the office.
