VITIS Orthodontic Wax is intended for application to orthodontic appliances that protrude from teeth (brackets, arch-wires or metallic bands) and that can therefore cause sores from rubbing against the tongue or internal cheek surfaces. The wax works by forming a thin protective layer to prevent the appearance of lesions.
VITIS Orthodontic Wax is indicated for all orthodontic patients. Its use is advisable during the first few days after the orthodontic appliances have been placed and after subsequent adjustments.
It is also useful before visiting the dentist if any of the parts of the orthodontic appliance should break or become detached, and it can be used any time discomfort is experienced during treatment.

Remove the retainer to clean your teeth. DO NOT use toothpaste to clean your retainer. It can roughen the retainer and make them change colour. You should gently clean the retainer with a toothbrush and cold water over the sink. Some patients choose to soak the retainers in a effervescent tablet to keep them looking fresh.
We say night time for a lifetime. They only way to ensure your teeth cannot move is to wear them on a part time basis for life. As a general rule you should wear your retainers every night for the first 12 months. You can then gradually reduce this down to a part time basis. If you stop wearing the retainers there will be some tooth movement. Changes in the position of your teeth can continue throughout life and are part of the normal aging process. Night Time for a lifetime will limit this.
You will not need to be seen as often while your retainers are in place. Under the NHS your orthodontist is responsible for a retention period of 12 months. After this period you will have to pay privately for continuing care or re-treatment.
Your teeth may move without the retainer so getting a replacement as quickly as possible is advisable. Order a new set from your digital finish models via the smile.network. If your teeth have moved considerably you will need to call the practice to arrange an appointment.
Everyone needs to wear a retainer after orthodontic treatment. Retainers are designed to keep your teeth straight and it is important you wear them as instructed.
You should wear your retainer as instructed. if this is full time for the first week then it should be only removed for eating, cleaning, swimming and contact sports. Do not click the retainer out with your tongue as this can cause it to break or become loose and less effective.
