Re: Is it OK to sleep with wax in?

[Guest guest]

I don't think you read the website well, it says:

" The Bumper is comfortable enough to be worn all your waking hours.

However, DO NOT sleep, eat or swim with the Bumper in place. The

Bumper is not meant to take the place of a sports mouth guard. "

I sleep with wax, have no problems with it, but I only put it on a

few brackets that irritate, not on the entire braces. It's better to

let your mouth toughen up a bit, but once you get cancer sores (like

I do) the only way to get rid of them is wax on the bracket.

I've never considered sleeping with the wax in would be a bad idea. I

sleep with wax quite often, mostly when I have to let the inside of my

mouth heal up.

I'm using Brace Relief these days: http://www.infalab.com/ The

strips are long enough to use all the way around if needed (which I

did need out of surgery for a couple weeks), and I've never had a

problem with it falling off, even when eating. In fact, I've

forgotten it a couple times and brushed right over it and it only

loosened it a little.

Hope this helps!

It's fine to sleep with wax in

Heck, I've slept with it in. I've eaten with it in (because I forgot

I had it in ) and I've accidentally started brushing my teeth with

it in.

It's not going to harm you if you swallow it, and if it's firmly on

the bracket that is causing you trouble, I seriously doubt it'll

dislodge while you're sleeping

Thanks, Nathalie, I did read that but figured it was probably a

liability issue. It seems to me that the bumper would be less of a

choking hazard than wax. In any case, I slept with lots of wax in last

night and didn't have any problems. It felt so much better!

Jen, I got a sample of Brace Relief but haven't tried it yet. Sounds

good. Thanks for the link! Luna

I haven't a clue about the odds, but I've never heard of it

happening.

I did swallow a lot of wax, and silicone, over the 20 months I was in

braces, and never noticed that it bothered me a bit.
