Description
The GUM Ortho Care Kit is a complete braces care set that brings together the essential tools orthodontic patients need to keep teeth, gums and appliances clean during treatment. Made by GUM (Sunstar), this orthodontic kit combines a specialised toothbrush, orthodontic wax, easy-thread floss and interdental cleaners in one convenient pack for everyday use across the UAE.
Why It Works
Braces, retainers and other appliances create tight spaces and sharp edges that a standard toothbrush struggles to manage. The GUM Ortho Care Kit pairs purpose-built tools for each task, helping you clean around brackets and archwires, reach between teeth, and soothe irritation from wires, so your daily routine stays thorough and comfortable.
What's Included
The kit brings together the core GUM orthodontic essentials:
• Orthodontic toothbrush shaped to clean both the tooth surface and the brackets
• Orthodontic wax that presses over sharp edges to relieve irritation of the cheek, lip or tongue
• EasyThread floss with stiff dual-ended threaders to floss under wires and around braces
• Proxabrush Go-Betweens interdental cleaners for the spaces between teeth and the archwire
Ideal For
This braces care kit is ideal for anyone wearing fixed braces, retainers or other orthodontic appliances who wants a complete set of cleaning and comfort tools in one pack. It is a practical choice for home and travel during orthodontic treatment. For guidance on the right technique for your appliance, talk to your orthodontist, who is the best authority on proper care during your treatment.
How to Use
Use the tools together as part of your daily oral care routine:
1. Brush with the orthodontic toothbrush using a short back-and-forth motion to clean the teeth, brackets, gumline and chewing surfaces.
2. Pass the Proxabrush between teeth and along the archwire, without forcing it into spaces that are too small.
3. Use the EasyThread floss to thread under the wire and clean between the teeth.
4. Apply a small piece of orthodontic wax over any sharp edge that is rubbing the inside of the mouth.
