Quick Reference

Orthodontic wax is a medical supply used to mitigate discomfort and protect oral tissues for individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment, such as braces. Since orthodontic treatment itself is a qualified medical expense, related supplies that address issues arising from that treatment are also eligible.

When It Qualifies

  • Must be used for a legitimate medical purpose related to orthodontic care.

When It Doesn't

  • Expenses for general oral hygiene products not specifically related to orthodontic discomfort (e.g., regular toothpaste, toothbrushes).
