I was told by one of the techs in my ortho's office that the flavoring oil they uses can cause a greater chance of bubbles in the mold which increases your chance of having to redo a mold. SO... that's why my ortho's office doesn't use flavors. That being said I don't know if I'd really want a flavor in that stuff. I think I'm ok with it being plain. Plus they use cold water so it's cold going in your mouth. I think that helps with ye ole gag reflex too.

My first set I ever had done I was JUST getting over the worst stomach bug and I was still quite queasy. Boy, that was interesting! LOL!Image
