    My Son Just Got Braces & Is Having The Same Issues. I Credit Wax Creators For Trying To Help With An Issue Caused By Braces BUT... With All Due Respect, I Think Wax Is Worthless. The Temperature Of Your Mouth IS Going To Melt Is And If That Doesn't Do It, Saliva Will Cause It To Fall Off The Braces. Applying Wax Is Something That Has To Be Done All Day, Throughout The Day Because, Again, Saliva And Temperature Will Knock It Off The Bracket.... However, Maybe This Does Help Some People. I Guess It Beats The Alternative Of Nothing At All.... ✌️

    Hi there!! One of my blue glue fell off alongside my bracket when the orthodontist were tightening my braces. They said until I improve my quality of my gums, they will place another bracket back on that tooth as well as the glue that fell off. On my left side there is glue and on the right side there isn't. This causes me to bite unevenly which causes cuts in my gums. Can I put the wax on my tooth to help balance out the sides that I bite with???

    @@thatsspice The first week after putting on the braces and after a tightening is the worst not gonna lie. Your teeth feel super sore and even breathing can make them sensitive. I live on mashed potatoes and soup during those times. The wires aren't really a problem anymore, the inside of my mouth got used to them and they don't cut anymore. If you have trouble with the wires put as much wax as needed to make it easier but your mouth will also get used to it. I will advise you to not eat foods that are super crunchy (nuts, crisps, and such) until the molar holes close. The gums exposed make those spots perfect for food to get stuck and it hurts if something pointy like a crisp gets in there. if you do eat them take extra time to not get hurt, Good luck my friend

    Hi Jerome, There are a few reasons why brackets fall off. 1: Biting Pattern: if your biting on your brackets this could cause a breakage. 2: Patient Care: monitor what your eating, any hard foods can cause breakages. 3: Your tooth: if you have dental fillings the adhesive used to attach bracket may need to be changed to something stronger. If the breakage happens whilst putting the wax on it may be that your applying to much force on the bracket.
