Double Refill Pack for InfaLab's Brace Relief Pocket Kit

By popular demand, we have brought back the refill items for InfaLab's Brace Relief Pocket Kit -- but this time they're in a handy Double Refill Pack. That means more cost savings and convenience for you -- and less plastic in the environment!

Brace Relief Pocket Kit is a cute little mirrored square case that packs serious braces relief! It contains 4 thick rods of Brace Gard Silicone and one tube of Brace Relief analgesic gel. When you finish using the contents of the original Pocket Kit, you can fill the empty plastic case with our Double Refill Pack. It contains 8 rods of Brace Gard Silicone and 2 tubes of the analgesic gel -- double the original amount contained in the Pocket Kit -- in a convenient re-sealable plastic zipper bag.

Brace Gard Silicone has many advantages over plain dental wax. It lasts longer, is more transparent, and will not melt when you drink hot liquids. It can also be molded into a temporary mouth guard to cover a series of brackets. Your brackets must be totally dry for Brace Gard to stick properly. This means that before you use it, you should dry your braces as thoroughly as possible with a clean tissue. Most people love using dental silicone, and prefer it over regular dental wax, once they get the hang of applying it.

Need a large quantity of dental silicone? We also sell Ortho-Sil in packs of 10 containers, or boxes of 50 containers. If you need a really large quantity of Brace Gard Silicone, we can arrange to special-order it for you at no extra charge. But if enough customers want large quantities of Brace Gard, we will certainly consider adding a bulk box of Brace Gard to our inventory!

How to Use Dental Wax

When you first got your braces, your orthodontist probably gave you a container of dental wax. By using this product properly, you can spare yourself hours of needless pain and irritation. In the first weeks of orthodontic treatment, braces can rub the inside of your lips and gums until they are raw. This is extremely uncomfortable, but after a week or two the tissue heals and "toughens up." You may not believe it, but with time you will actually forget that you are wearing braces -- they will not irritate the insides of your mouth as much!

But in the mean time, while you are adjusting to life with orthodontics, dental wax is indispensable. It can help to protect those delicate tissues and help them heal. Using dental wax is very easy:

1. Pinch a small quantity of wax from the strip -- enough to cover the bracket that is irritating your mouth.
   
2. Knead the wax briefly between clean fingers to warm it slightly and make it more malleable.
   
3. Smoosh it right onto the bracket that is giving you trouble. You can cover as little or as much of the bracket as necessary.

Remember to remove the wax before brushing your teeth, or it will gunk up your toothbrush! You can eat with dental wax on your brackets, but hot foods may dissolve it slightly -- or it may come off when you chew. Dental wax is non-toxic, so don't worry if you swallow some; it will pass right through your digestive system.

Most people apply dental wax between meals, after brushing their teeth. If you find yourself needing to apply wax constantly for weeks on end, you may want to consider trying dental silicone or one of the soft plastic wax alternative products we carry -- especially if you play a wind instrument or a horn!

At DentaKit.com we sell an excellent quality dental wax in packets of 10 containers for $9.99. Need a lot? A bulk box of 50 dental waxes is $29.99 -- that's a great value at 60 cents per container!
