QuestionDo I leave the wax on overnight or do I remove it before bed?Dr. Macau is a Doctor of Dental Surgery based in London, England. Dr. Macau is an oral surgeon, periodontist, and aesthetician at Favero Dental Clinic where he is known for his cosmetic dentistry and facial aesthetics work. He is actively involved in scientific research in the field of dentistry and he received his DDS from Carol Davila University of Medicine in 2015.You can leave it overnight for protection. While you sleep, you have no control of your muscles so the metal wires can cause even worse injuries especially if you sleep face down. There will be no problems if you swallow the wax, so don’t worry about wearing it during the night.

QuestionCan you reuse wax and if so how can you clean it before reusing it?Dr. Macau is a Doctor of Dental Surgery based in London, England. Dr. Macau is an oral surgeon, periodontist, and aesthetician at Favero Dental Clinic where he is known for his cosmetic dentistry and facial aesthetics work. He is actively involved in scientific research in the field of dentistry and he received his DDS from Carol Davila University of Medicine in 2015.Orthodontic wax is not that expensive (your orthodontist may even give it to you for free), so there is no point in reusing it. Once you have put it on the brackets it will eventually crumble and fall off, so if you try to reuse it it won’t have the same effect and it will fall off easier.
