I have braces. I ran out of ortho wax that I got at my ortho office. They work the same hours I do, so I couldn't go there after work for wax. I found some at Wallgreens, by the dental floss. If all else fails finding it in the store, go to an ortho office and ask if you can buy some there. My orthodontist gives me all i need for free because I am a patient. But I think it was $2.50 at Wallgreens.
You have to apply to a dry spot (someone said that). Also, you need to roll it up in a small ball in your hands and warm it up first. Otherwise, it won't stick. You may have to coat the entire tooth or close to it. A tiny spot will come off. It kind of has to 'cling' around something.
Hope this helps.
