Lol Huggy, same here. I kinda hate some of the people who got hundred dollar toothbrushes.

[cheerrabbit]

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)

[crooked rory]

They gave me a cute blue travel case with brushing and flossing instructions inside of the lid. Also inside is a list of what I can't eat and how to get used to wearing braces. Inside was:

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.

[EbonyQ]

hmmm I wonder if we get these stuff in Norway... I hope so

[Leftie]

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!!

[belistic10]

my bag sucked!
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

[BracedSurgeryStudent]

I got a high quality draw string blue backpack with her practice Logo on it. inside we find:
2 Really compact braces type (no v-cut) toothbrushes with her name and number on them by Colgate.
1 pen from the office with her logo.
2 Hand Santizers from the office with her logo.
2 OrthoSil Wax packs, one tiny wax one regular sized wax.
2 Super Floss samplpe packs.
3 spam spam spam dental picks and floss combos (in a ziplock baggy).
2 Mint Phos Flur Colgate Braces Mouthwash sample/travel sized.
1 Colgate Bubblegum Phos Flur Braces Mouthwash full size.
2 Colgate Peroxyl Antiseptic Mouthwash.
1 Dentek Green Proxabrush (Christmas Tree Brush).
1 Mini Brace Relief Gel.
1 Orabase Sample Size.
1 Zilactin B Sample Size Gel.
1 Business Card to Her Office.

Oh, and when I ran out of the full sized mouthwash she gave me some more I LVOE my orthodontist she's really cool.

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.
