Could i sleep with dental wax on my braces?

Wax on teeth: First see your orthodontist to see if it can be alleviated. It has to be secure that you can't dislodge it or swallow it at night causing you to aspirate in the wrong pipe.

Sure: It will probably dissolve overnight or you may swallow it. But if you have a major sharp spot that you are trying to cover with wax, try to see your dentist or orthodontist soon to possibly perform an adjustment.

Absolutely: First have your orthodontist check to see if the "sticker" can be made less irritating. Dry the "sticker, " then cover it with a bb sized piece of wax that has been softened by rolling it between your fingers. If it should dislodge while you sleep, you will probably swallow it, and it will "work out all right in the end.".
