dental wax
Orthodontic bracket cushion
Dental wax is a soft, pliable wax used in dentistry and orthodontics.
Patients with braces apply it to brackets or wires that irritate the inside of the mouth: The orthodontist gave me dental wax for the spots rubbing my cheeks.
Dentists also use specialized waxes to make impressions and molds for crowns, dentures, and other prosthetics.
