Wax from candy

Speaking of ear plugs, I had some wax candy's, the kind with the liquid centers you buy for kids shaped in the form of a bottle. I poured out the liquid, warmed the wax under warm water and rolled it with my rolling pin! Works great. Was inexpensive and stays on until I take it off.

Hello NJCarissa! Welcome aboard to you also. I'm so glad to know that I am not alone to be braced at our age. Hopefully will have mine off by my 50th. They told me if I can bump up my adjustments to every 3 weeks instead of 4 I may be able to get them off sooner, so I will try that as soon as I can.

Braces at 48

Just got mine on today, and so glad I found this site. Was wondering tonight why I did this at 48, but sounds like most everyone here is glad later when it's done. I have bands on my back molars, both upper and lower, and wow does it smart!! I guess the wax is the best thing to use there, right?
