Yeah, that's what I received. In a little purple bag, nonetheless.

The welcome packet with how to brush teeth, etc
Wax
Floss threaders
V-shaped travel toothbrush
Those little tree shaped brushes
And...a Sonicare Flex+ toothbrush.

(the toothbrush was awesome because I was looking for a new electric toothbrush at the time)

I didn´t know you get something at your ortho's office. I am getting braced next wednesday. I hope I get some cool gadgets, but honestly, I don´t think I will.

Can't believe some people got so much!

I got;
a mug with ortho details on
chapstick
little plastic box with wax in (this has been fab!)
some leaflets
a pre-pasted ready to use toothbrush!!!

I had to buy the interdental brushes separately and they cost more than in the local supermarket!!

my bag sucked! :lol:
all i got was a leaflet about how to clean your teeth to prevent that decalcification happenning, a dodgy cheapo toothbrush that looks worth about 50cents since its not even a brand one! :| a couple little travel cases of wax, some floss threader (but NO floss- thought that was weird!) a travel size little tree shaped brush (is that a proxy brush.? dunno but it cleans round your brackets) some of those dyes that you eat to see if your not cleaning properly. & that was it :|

I got a box of super floss after I asked how to floss.

A couple weeks later I got some Gorilla elastics.

Kind of disappointing since I paid a fortune out of pocket for self-ligating braces.

I didn't even get the cleaning instruction guides. I just figured that out on my own.

Awh you should have asked them. My ortho gave me instructions and made me watch a video after she put the braces on and then she went over it with me after watching the video.
