How to Apply Dental Wax on Braces

News Categories

By Laura Munion, eHow Contributor
Dental braces are tough on the gums and jaw tissue. Since the sharp ends of the wires and the pointed parts of the appliances can gouge into the soft tissues in the mouth, causing canker sores and scrapes, orthodontists have their patients use wax to reduce these problems.

Dental wax covers the problematic areas, reducing their ability to rub against the inner cheek and gums. This reduces the number and severity of sores caused by braces.
