Not much, Box of wax and Orth tooth brush
He even sold me a bottle of mouth wash.
Went online to see the cost in the US compare my orth charged me for the mouth wash and he sold it cheaper so I am happy.

Re: What did your ortho "give" you?
I got the usual teeth kit - toothbrushes, floss threaders, wax, floss, mirror, proxy brushes, how to brush/floss, mouthwash, toothpaste, and the biggest item that I love is a new electric toothbrush - http://www.oralb.com/products/professio ... ries-5000/.
The main items I've used is the toothbrush, wax and proxy brushes. I invested in buying the Crest Glide Threader floss .. I'm in love with Crest Glide - just awesome floss. Wish I found it when I was younger. .. and I don't use the mouthwash, I still stick to my same ol' Listerine.

Re: What did your ortho "give" you?
wish i got heaps and heaps of things!
not that im really needing allof them.
mine was kindof like a colgate showbag haha
but i got :
colgate toothbrush with orthodontists logo, address and ph number on it
colgate interdental brushes
colgate fluoride toothpaste
mint scented dental wax
a pamphlet on how to brush braces properly
a pamphlet on what to do in a "dental emergency"
but when the assistant handed it to me she recommended ORAL B SUPERFLOSS.
that floss is really helpful as it has a pointy end to thread it through. (the assistant had braces too)

Toothbrush

2 floss threaders
2 floss singles
small interdental brush
list of foods to avoid

All packaged in a high quality zip-lock bag.
