Abstract

------September 18, 2018------(OCR) Page 1 of 1 Summary of Invention In the past, dental wax for preventing pain was usually produced in long stick form. Using this wax involved the user estimating the amount needed each time, then pulling the stick into small pieces, molding them into a ball, and applying it to the orthodontic appliance in the area causing pain. It can be seen that using orthodontic wax is quite difficult and not sufficiently hygienic for use in the mouth. Therefore, the invention of ready-to-use orthodontic wax (Brace Stick) greatly facilitates use. The ready-to-use orthodontic wax (Brace Stick) is a spherical shape of a suitable size, coated with banana powder to prevent adhesion between the product and the packaging. It is also harmless and does not cause tooth decay when used in the mouth or on the tooth surface. The packaging is airtight. ------------ ------March 23, 2018------(OCR) Page 1 of 1 Summary of Invention In the past, dental wax was typically produced in long stick form. Its use involved the user estimating the amount needed each time, then pulling the stick into small pieces with their hand like a hammer before applying it to the orthodontic appliance in the area causing pain.

They are opaque white with a sticky texture for easy molding, unlike red or other colored utility waxes. Cayola brand crayons have the AP logo on the box and contain banana starch. 2. Manufacturing process of ready-to-use orthodontic brace sticks (Brace Sticks)... The process for making the stick involves the following steps: 2.1 Melt the opaque white beeswax in a heat-resistant container using a water bath heated to 60-65 degrees Celsius. Add color (ratio: color: beeswax 2 ml: 36.67 g) using non-toxic crayon colors. 2.2 Pour the melted beeswax into cylindrical plastic molds, each mold holding 3.925 cubic centimeters. Allow the beeswax to harden, then cut into 40 pieces, each 5 mm long. 2.3 Shape the beeswax by hand into uniform spheres with a 5 mm diameter. 2.4 Coat the outer surface of the beeswax with banana powder. Banana powder has a high percentage of resistance to enzymatic digestion in the mouth and body when in its raw form. Importantly, this raw material is a product of innovation from the College of Agricultural Innovation, Biotechnology and Food, Rangsit University, which can be applied and further developed into this product. 2.5 Vacuum-pack the beeswax, sealing the bottom with aluminum foil. The top is a clear, oval-shaped plastic container, measuring 2.4 x 0.6 x 0.9 centimeters. Each blister pack contains 10 pieces. The outer casing is made of folded paper, forming a rectangular shape with open ends, and includes product details and instructions for use. 3. Using the Brace Stick: Remove one ready-to-use orthodontic wax stick (Brace Stick) from the foil packaging. Press it onto the orthodontic appliance, especially on sharp or irritating areas such as exposed wire ends or the edges of brackets. Due to the soft and malleable properties of the wax at room temperature, the Brace Stick spreads to cover the appliance, providing lubrication and reducing friction between the oral mucosa and the appliance. The wax's adhesion is temporary. When subjected to strong impacts or friction, such as chewing or brushing, the wax may detach or some may be washed away by food. Therefore, patients should use a toothpick to remove any excess wax from the Brace Stick before reapplying it. A new, ready-to-use orthodontic brace stick is applied to the same spot until the pain subsides or improves, as advised by your orthodontist. 1.
