Best store for orthodontic supplies

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if people have a favorite place to go for their orthodontic supplies (such as wax, brushes). I have been to Target and they don't have much of a variety. The only wax that they had was the wax dots. I am getting my braces next week and want to know where I should shop for supplies

Thanks for the input,

Hi Dave,

I have had the best luck in Walgreens. I've also picked up a few things in CVS as well. Target has nothing! You would do well there if you are purchasing an electric toothbrush and replacement heads.

Also wait and see what your ortho gives you as well. I got alot of samples from him and now I've purchased what I liked after I tried it.

Good luck with your treatment!

I'll put in a shameless plug for my online store. If you can't find what you want locally, DentaKit.com has a really good selection of stuff.

I get everything i need from my orthodontist. He supplies my toothbrushes, proxy brushes, floss threaders, lip balm (though I like a different brand so I buy my own), floss, etc.

He told me he does this to assure his patients are using the stuff he recommends.

I have purchased items from orthoshop which is a UK company. Most items you require can normally be purchased from your orthodontist surgery.
