#1 Post by Pebs »

Mint wax is actually ok when I put it on but I hate tasting mint whenever I'm eating or drinking. Yuck.

The main problem is that I've checked several local stores and they don't carry unflavored wax. It's all mint!

Also, where can I find the silicon that some folks use instead of wax? I'd like to give it a try.

Have you checked the website DentaKit? :)

I know that they sell the unflavored wax there in packs of 10.

Yes, the wax we sell at DentaKit is unflavored and unscented.

Orthosil

The silicone that you're talking about is called Orthosil and I personally think it's the best stuff ever. It's smooth, tasteless and doesn't feel like a wad of hard gum sticking to my teeth. HOWEVER, before ordering you have to know that they really are being truthful when they tell you that the entire bracket/tooth has to be dry.

Has anyone else tried using silicone ear plugs?
