A member asked:
Where can you buy wax for clear plastic retainers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wax: Wrong solution. Retainer should not be causing rubbing, cutting, scraping, ulcers, etc. Please return immediately to the specialist Orthodontist or General Dentist who made the retainer for what will probably be an easily accomplished adjustment. Dental wax is available in the dental aisle of your local drug store, or free from your Orthodontist, but it will nor readily adhere to a retainer flange
