dental wax tricks

#1 Post by stuckinabyss »

does anyone have any dental wax tricks and tips?

And when the clock strikes twelve
will you find another party go and kiss and tell
coz you know I never will
I think we should strike a match
and we'll hold to to the wind
and see how long it lasts
we can make the time stand still

I always roll the wax/orthosil whatever I'm using until it gets pretty soft and kind of tacky on my fingers. Then I do that geeky thing where I try to get all of the saliva out of my mouth, it sounds like "seeeeeckk, seeeeeeck" Then I just stick it on the bracket and try to get it around the bracket to kind of seal it off. It usually sticks and I'm a happy camper.

If it falls off because my mouth gets all wet again, then I lay on my back and try the "seeeeeeeeck, seeeeeck" thing again. Sounds crazy but it works for me.

I don't have any wax tips but I just wanted to say that I love the song in your signature. I love Boys Like Girls! Do you have their CD? If you do, what's your favorite song? Mine is # 7, "Up against the Wall."

I love boys like girls!
lol
its the first CD ive bought in years!
im guilty of free music downloads (shame..I know..but my parents do not think music is worth spending money on when you can just 'listen to the radio' and the cheapest CD's in my area are about 25 bucks a pop so..yeah) Anyway, i heard them and I was like 'OMG I MUST GIVE THESE PEOPLE MONEY!'
lol
my favourite is heels over head, and thunder (have you heard teh acoustic version? its fantastic!)

The other day I wore a boys like girls tshirt out and my brothers was like 'do you not like gay people or something?' Lol
