OrthoDots CLEAR (24 Count) - Moisture Activated, Silicone Dental Wax Alternative for Pain Caused by Braces. OrthoDots Stick Better & Stay on Longer than Orthodontic Wax (24 Count Clear)

Previously, I'd give these a 5 (clear silicon that would stay in place all day). They were the best thing I've found since getting braces and order them frequently. Unfortunately, this time, they were totally different. This order was flat, white squares that look like I've got him on my tooth, don't stay as well, and the package requires scissors to open, which doesn't work on the go. So disappointed!

JULY 29/2019 UPDATEIt's a shame that only reviews from 2017 are showing at the top. They've re-designed them so there aren't any more "white" dots on the marketThese dots are pricey, yes, but SUPERIOR to every product out there. They're thin (and you can make them even thinner if you squish them between your fingers before applying) and they don't leave a gross film in your mouth like waxI have to wear by braces for 24 months and I'm already on my 10th box. LOVE THESE MOFOS+++++++++Just got lingual braces. Felt like the Fruit Ninja was drunk in my mouth slicing and cutting me up. Wax disintegrated and tasted awful and was impossible to remove. This stayed put and felt like nothing. I get anxiety if I don't have a full box lying around.

When I first tried the product, I thought I wasted my money. The dots kept braking when I applied them to my braces. Then I realized “reading is fundamental!” Only one side of the dot has the adhesive that will cause the dots to remain in place on your braces and if put on as instructed, it will NOT break. The side of the dot facing the clear side of the package is what you have to apply to your brace. I love it! And I’m so happen I slowed down to read the box before my trip out of country because I really needed these! They are great!!

It's OK, but for almost 50 cents each, it gets pricey. I have 5 areas in my mouth that need attention ... after using this for a week, I realized this doesn't work quite as well as a good wax, and if you buy in quantity, it works out to about 4 sticks of wax to one dot. (in other words, cost for the dots per day is $2.50 ... wax is $0.50 - Since I'll have these braces for a couple years, that adds up to a lotIf you have 1 issue, this works pretty wellIf you are like me and need to deal with a lot, I'd recommend the 50-pack of wax (I just bought three)

I bought these for my Grandma because she had to have braces put on her upper front teeth for about 3 months. She was complaining about how painful the braces were and how they kept getting caught on her lip and then the wax I bought wouldn't stick properly. So I was looking on Amazon for some alternatives to wax and I found OrthoDots. They are amazing because they fully cover the bracket and they are activated by moisture so they stick really well until you want to take them off. I don't understand why Dentists don't recommend these to all of their patients that have braces.

Loved the first ones I bought, that were clear. The ones I bought recently are white and so visible you can't smile while wearing them! They also don't stay on as well. I want the clear ones back!

I am a clinical manager at a well-established orthodontic office in the Chicagoland area. I love OrthoDots for the following reasons. #1: Convenience with its single-use packaging (like a band-aid)and its makes it easy for traveling. One box can go a long way! Since it is single-use, it is also much cleaner/more hygienic than wax in a box. #2: It goes on and stays on and it is easy to remove. Plus, you don't have to worry about them accidentally sticking to your clothes or the floor. If you work with children at at school or a camp, I would strongly advise you add OrthoDots to your first aid kit.

These OrthoDots come out to .62 cents each when you buy them in a 24 count pack. You can get the regular wax at your local drug store for around .19 cents each. The OrthoDots are actually very thin compared to the regular drug store ones that you roll yourself. The drug store ones cost about a 1/3 of the price of these OrthoDots. That means, you can change them 3 times a day and still be below what one OrthoDot would cost you. Yes, the OrthoDots stick well enough but not 3 times worth. Overall, this is a good product which is way overpriced. I will stick to the regular wax. Just not worth the extra money in my opinion. It's certainly not doing three times the job of the regular wax.
