oRtho gift bag?

#1 Post by stRaighteR »

ok so obviously this is not really a gift bag because i'm sure it's included in the cost of the braces...when i first had braces, my ortho gave me an oral-b braces cut toothbrush and told me have fun :? ...what did you guys get in ur ortho "gift bag"?

I got a full dental kit that I can put in my purse. I liked the dentakit better. I also got a gift certificate to Jamba Juice in the mail my first week of braces, which I thought was really thoughtful.

I hope it is a gift certficate to some nice steak house when I get the braces off :-)

I feel left out :cry: I didn't get ANYTHING! Unless you count the tiny bit of dental wax that the ortho wrapped up in a tissue so it had bits of kleenex stuck to it! Oh and a tube of Gel-Kam which you brush on every night to stop teeth from 'declarifying' (whatever THAT means!) Oh well, I am having my braces courtesy of the NHS and it's hardly cost me anything so I shouldn't complain really! :lol:

I got one of these when they had fitted my brace. So far as I can remember, it contained the following:
  • 2 x Boxes of orthodontic wax
    1 x Standard Toothbrush with Interdental brush on the handle.
    1 x Oral B Ortho Toothbrush
    1 x Pack of Tee-Pee Interdental brushes
    1 x Box of floss with threader
    1 x Tube of mouth sore gel
    1 x Patient information leaflet
    1 x Brace emergency leaflet, (what to do if brace breaks, hurts severely etc).
I didn't expect anything to be honest, so this was a bonus! :)

I walked out with a giant gift bag. I was surprised at all the stuff I got.

1 t shirt - if I wear it to my adjustments my name goes in a draw for a gift card
1 Oral B electric toothbrush
1 Oral B ortho cut toothbrush with a travel cap to put on it
1 bag of super floss
1 package of floss threaders for regular floss
1 package of sugar free gum
1 grape scented bite wafer
1 little box of wax
1 timer for brushing
1 pencil with his name/logo etc on it
1 water bottle again with the logo
2 little interdental brushes
1 large magnet with a list of foods to avoid and information on what to do if a bracket comes off or something like that happens
1 pamphlet with more detailed information

He also does special things for his clients. For example this weekend he rented out a mini golf course and we are all invited to go play for free. There are also monthly drawings for stuff. Most of it is catered for children but adult clients are encouraged to participate if they want to.
