Covers for lingual braces?

I see Morgan bumpers and Comfort Covers for regular braces and I'm wondering if there is one for linguals. I don't want to use the messy wax to cover the top and bottom to make it easier to kiss. Anyone use a product that they like?

thanks.

Wow, this sounds interesting.. What is brace-eze?? Is it like wax or something?

London Lingual, I have a problem with the wax being difficult to take off since it gets stuck in the crevices of the braces. Is brace-eze easier to take off?

I use one of those little, tiny brushes and scrub between teeth and around brackets before swishing with a mouthful of water. This seems to get rid of wax quite easily..

Hope this helps.. Just cold tap water.

in the uk there is just one website that sells it so search google or my previous posts as the name escapes me now. It's easy to get off cuse it goes hardish so all sticks together and you just pull the whole lot off in one go. It is really strong though so I sometimes worry it will pull a bracket off with it. I think it s 100% better than wax, which I never got one with. You can eat in it, it stays on for as long as you want, it tastes good and it can cope with shap points which just push through normal wax. On the other hand it is expensive, it takes a while to harden during which time it can move about a bit and you have to push it around with your fingers, the tube it comes in i badly designed so often bursts or hardens and is dificult to dispense, therefore you often only get to use 70% of its contents. Lastly it is more expensive than wax but that for me is irrelevent, for the sake of three quid (3GBP lol) I'd gladly treat my tongue!

ok, I ordered them on Monday and got the tubes by Wednesday! very quick shipping.

I tried them out and they were a little messy and I think I used too much and it was a bit of a goopy mess. It never really hardened up completely and it kept moving around...especially the bottom front. In fact, it got so goopy that they were oozing out between the little spaces on my bottom teeth - not pretty. I can't imagine eating with it, but I'll give it a try later this week, when I'm home and eating.

I formed a little ball of the braceeze and then tried to spread it around all over. Should I try putting the little bits only on the brackets instead of spreading it around everywhere?
