Piksters® Orthodontic Wax was developed to protect against irritation, pain, and ulceration caused by orthodontic brackets and wires. Subtle Mint Flavour.
Orthodontic brackets and wires can sometimes cause temporary irritation and ulceration of the tongue and or the lips. The oral tissues usually get used to these irritations, but it can take several weeks or even months for this to occur. During this time you may get ulcers. If you feel an ulcer ' or if you already have an ulcer, using Piksters® Orthodontic Wax can be extremely helpful by taking the pain away, and allowing ulcers to heal. The basic concept is to apply enough wax to the sharp protrusion to cause it to feel blunt. Use as much as it takes. You will need to reapply wax after every meal.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Australian Dental Association recommends toothbrushing should be done twice per day. It should be done in the morning and again at night for two minutes each time. Brushing your teeth at night should be the last thing you do before bed, with no food or drink after brushing. Brushing for two minutes means brushing the teeth in each section of the mouth for approximately 30 seconds.
Storage: Store in a dry, clean place.
