A member asked:

Wanted to know if i can buy wax for my braces at hyvee?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't know: No hy-vee stores in my area (eastern pa). Your orthodontic specialist should be able to provide you w orthodontic wax. If you need a supply and the orthodontist's office is closed, try the dental section at any pharmacy.
