The hard and soft palates form the roof of the mouth. On the anterior end of the mouth, the hard palate is formed by the inferior surface of the maxillae and palatine bones. These bones are covered with a thin layer of connective tissues and mucous membranes, which form small wrinkles.
The wax is opaque and unscented/unflavored. Remember to remove the wax before you brush your teeth. Non-toxic if swallowed. When you first get braces, or if you have a lot of hardware in your mouth, dental wax can be a Godsend. Just smoosh some onto the bracket that is causing irritation, and it forms a barrier between your bracket and your gums. The wax we carry is high quality and made right here in the USA.
