I got a cute little transparent pouch with:
  • 1 travel toothbrush
    1 ortho toothbrus
    1 pack of floss threader
    1 roll of floss
    1 little container of wax
I like the pouch and added a few of my own goodies:
  • a little container of gum dental picks
    canker sore patches
    a mini bottle of act total mouthrinse
    a mini aleve container
    mini toothpaste
    a tube of benzodent
I like the orthodontic brush because my sonicare is scaring me, I can barely handle flossing right now >.<

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.

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)
