ADHERENCEThe adhesive system used in OrthoDots® CLEAR is
moisture-activated, meaning that it not only initially sticks the best in the very wet conditions around orthodontic appliances, but it also stays in place much longer than dental wax.
PLIABILITY & TEAR RESISTANCEThe material is drastically superior to traditional dental wax for this application. Third-party testing confirmed that the medical-grade silicone is 19 to 21 times more pliable and 33 to 82 times more tear resistant than leading dental wax products on the market.
AESTHETICSIn light transmittance testing, OrthoDots® CLEAR was shown to be 17-30 times more transparent (less opaque) than leading dental wax products on the market. The image above shows a leading dental wax brand vs. OrthoDots® CLEAR.
QUALITY & SAFETYOrthoDots® are made from a high quality medical-grade silicone and a common adhesive ingredient that has long been safely used in other oral care products.
HYGIENIC USEOrthoDots® not only offers a better product to maximize patient satisfaction, but it also offers a better option for more convenient and hygienic use due to tamper-evident packaging, hygienic individual applications, and labelling with product traceability.
OrthoDots® CLEAR can be used on appliances other than bracesAlthough abrasions are typically thought to be caused primarily by braces, there are many other types of orthodontic appliances that can be a source of pain and irritation. Given the superior adhesive properties, tear resistance, and malleability of OrthoDots® CLEAR, it is the best option for use on all orthodontic appliances. Below are examples of other orthodontic appliances that commonly cause irritation.
Sold in a pack of 4 OrthoDots®.
