Gishy Goo! Dental Wax Replacements for Orthodontics. Pain Relief, Bubblegum Flavor and Unnoticeable Tooth Colors, 1 Patient Syringe Kit from Ultradent

This stuff is great! Easy to use. Stays on for long periods of time even while eating. Molds to your braces and peels off when ready to discard!!

My daughter has been through it with braces; she’s had them since she was 9 along with a palate expander and herbs device to push her jaw forward. The amount of sores she gets is awful.. we do salt water rinses, and wax never sticks good enough. This works amazing. Thanks to another parent recommendation, you dry the area first. Use a pea size amount, roll together and place. It should set up all within two minutes, and it stays! Much thicker than wax. Making a good boundary. Pretty easy to pop off especially with the little sticks it comes with. Not to mention this last round for her, a wire was sticking out that we couldn’t get to. This is expensive but worth it. There’s not a lot so you may go through it quickly depending on your needs.

If you have ever been unprepared for a wire coming loose you know it is not a pleasant experience. This product is truly a must have. We have tried wax that falls out and we’ve even resorted to wire cutters once on a Friday night over a holiday weekend. Once while out of town we had to go to an orthodontist because of a sharp wire poking. Once we found this product it alleviated the need for the wax that falls out or having to find an orthodontist on a vacation.If your kid has traditional braces, you must purchase this product. It is truly a lifesaver. Moms keep it in your purse always have it handy. Dads carry in your backpacks. You will be a true lifesaver!Sticks and stays. No funny or unpleasant taste.

This is a really cool alternative to the dental wax they give you at the orthodontist. My son was in a lot of pain from his brackets and the wire sticking out rubbing against his gums. We could not get the wax from the orthodontist so I ordered this. Once you squeeze out a pea size, you mix it together quickly with your fingers and place on brackets. It does harden quickly so you want to put it on quickly. I found it does not stick to the wires though, only the brackets. We found some silicone wax that sticks to the wires that I bought. Price for this was a bit high for the amount you get. My son really liked the flavor of this.

My 13 year old son would not use the wax for his braces his orthodontist had given him. Not sure why not, he just didn’t like it. But the braces were cutting up his mouth here and there between appts. When his older brother who had had braces before him showed him this product, he really showed interest and started using it right away. Yes, the wax that the orthodontist gave was free, but didn’t help if it wasn’t being used. This really was so helpful and he is so much more comfortable now when he has a wire poking him and uses this. Fun and easy to use.

Love this product!! No more mouth sores from my braces.

I have a special TMJ wire orthotic in my upper palate that has little posts on each side that stick out really far from my teeth and tend to dig into my cheeks when I talk. Wax wasn't really helping because of the large amount of space between the post and the tooth. The Gishy Goo is a better option for this because I can roll it into a little ball and stick it right on top of the post and once it hardens (which takes about 30 seconds) it generally stays in place pretty well for a lot longer than wax. I did not find that the area had to be completely dry before placement as other users have stated. I was able able to easily remove it later using a dental pick tool that I bought at Walmart. If the Gishy Goo becomes dislodged on its own, however, it's not reusable like wax... you can't just stick it back on. It's a hard rubbery ball at that point and not malleable anymore. Also, I noticed I had a hard time getting both pastes to come out of the tubes evenly at the same rate. The white paste always wanted to come out a whole lot faster than the peach-colored paste. I would have to clamp my finger over the opening for the white paste to get more of the other paste to come out. Gishy Goo only seems to come in a “tooth-colored” version, which ends up looking like I’ve pocketed a piece of peach-colored chewing gum into each cheek when I talk or smile. I wish it was more clear-colored or grayish. And then there’s the price... I just got the tube of Gishy Goo 2 days ago and over half of it is already gone, mostly from a bit of trial and error. If you plan to try this, buy a couple of tubes to start with because you might use most of the first tube just trying to figure out how it works. I plan to use the Gishy Goo for the posts but will use something else, like OrthoDots, for the traditional brackets. This is probably the only way I’m going to be able to afford it.

This stuff WORKS. There's a slight learning curve but this stuff is legit. Once it's on, it's on. All day long, I can eat, drink, talk, even push on it with my tongue and it's not going anywhere. It is VERY noticeable though. Bright, bright white color which just makes my teeth look awful. Luckily I don't need it on brackets that are super visible because it looks like you've got gum caught in your brackets.The flavor isn't strong but it's very artificial and kind of gross, luckily it fades pretty quickly.The directions say "pea-sized" amount. How big is a pea? Bigger than I need to cover my brackets. I squeeze out about 2mm from each side and it's the perfect amount.
