Details

A leading independent UK specialist supplier of orthodontic products to orthodontic practices, laboratories, hospitals, and dental dealers offers an innovative orally applied transparent setting gel, which provides protection from the discomfort and irritation caused by orthodontic appliances.

Orthodontic wax is traditionally used to help with pain from braces rubbing or causing ulceration to the gums. Often, orthodontists prescribe use of orthodontic wax to be applied to the bracket during early stages of treatment. Wax is placed on the bracket to cushion the cheek, gum or tongue.

Traditional orthodontic waxes currently on the market have a tendancy to melt in the mouth with hot drinks or crumble and fall off when something cold is eaten or drunk.

The current innovative transparent setting orthodontic gel replaces such traditional waxes and offers significant improvements over current wax properties and is not affected by hot or cold temperatures.

Innovative Aspects:
* easy to apply and easy to remove, without the relative mess usually identified with the traditional wax products.
* a transparent gel, providing a cosmetic advantage over traditional wax during use.
* has exceptional adhesive qualities, which makes it much less likely to be swallowed during eating and drinking.
* has no negative effect on the mechanical properties or the function of the braces.
* One tube of gel provides up to three times the applications compared to a box of traditional wax.
* approved by USA Food and Drug Administration.
