Question:

is it ok to put dental wax on a bracket?

i put it on a bracket bcuz the glue came off the bracket. so i slid ( the bracket is still on the wire) the bracket by another bracket and put dental wax on both of them. is that ok until i go to the dentist? what should i do when eating?thanks for any input.

Answer:

Sure, it can't hurt to use the wax to keep it from flopping around, but call the Orthodontist first thing Monday and they will get you in to fix it.
oh ahaha well first of all you should call your orthodontist right away and to eat i wouldnt eat like a burger, hotdog or pizza. try a yummy milk shake or a smoothie(:
yeah, will keep abrasion down to a min
Its o.k. 2 do that I've done it before. When eating make sure that you chew on the opposite side of the loose bracket. So the bracket won't pop off. Also, make sure that when you bursh take the wax off, brush the area, and put a new coat of dental wax on. Hope you get your bracket fixed soon, :)
