VITIS® orthodontic wax acts as a protective layer to prevent irritation and chafing caused by orthodontic appliances, and in addition relieves pain.
VITIS® orthodontic wax is applied to the various orthodontic appliances that protrude from the teeth—brackets, arch wires or metal bands—and may therefore cause chafing by rubbing against the tongue or the inner cheeks. The wax acts by forming a thin protective layer that prevents the chafing from occurring.
