Discomfort and irritations can be experienced by patients when wearing orthodontic appliances and result from the repeated friction of braces onto oral mucosal tissues. GUM ORTHO Wax is a Class I Medical Device that has been specifically developed to protect oral mucosal tissues from lesions and relieves irritations caused by orthodontic appliances. The pre-cut pieces of orthodontic wax can be applied by pressing gently to cover wires or brackets. It will form a protective barrier and improve the level of comfort of your patients.
