Need more Brace Gard silicone strips and analegsic gel for your
Brace Relief Pocket Kit? We have a refill for that!
This double refill pack contains 8 rods of Brace Gard Silicone and 2 tubes of Brace Relief Analgesic Gel. That's double the amount of product that is originally included in the Brace Relief Pocket Kit.
Please note: the silicone rods are bare on a plastic sheet. They are meant to be housed in the
Brace Relief Pocket Kit or some other small hard case. The case is not included with this refill.
Brace Gard dental silicone works just like OrthoSil -- you need to dry your brackets thoroughly before applying it, or it will not stick. Place the Brace Gard silicone over TOTALLY DRY brackets. Pinch the top and bottom of the silicone to lock the material around the edges of the brackets. Finish by smoothing it with a wet finger.
Brace Gard silicone doesn't get hard or crumble like regular dental wax. You can remove and reapply it, and even mold it across several teeth at once to form a protective mouth guard. Brace Gard silicone is totally transparent and will not "melt" when you consume hot liquids or hot foods.
The analgesic gel comes in a small resealable tube. Use it whenever your teeth or gums hurt.
Orthodontic silicone is different from regular dental wax. The brackets of your braces need to be totally dry for the silicone to stick. Honestly, some people simply can't seem to get the hang of using it because they can't get their brackets dry enough to make the silicone stick. But those who do tell us that they love it and prefer it to dental wax. So please understand that it may take a little trial and error at the beginning to get orthodontic silicone to work for you.
Orthodontic silicone has many advantages: it can be re-used, it lasts a lot longer than wax, and it doesn't break down and crumble as easily as wax. Just smoosh some onto the bracket that is causing irritation, and it forms a barrier between your bracket and your gums. The silicone we carry is high quality medical grade, and made right here in the USA.
