Get the best Black Friday dental deals for braces! Explore discounts on Waterpiks, flossing kits, electric toothbrushes, and more to keep your smile healthy and bright – Bee Cave Orthodontics – Austin, Texas

Black Friday is a celebrative of the year—not just for the holiday cheer, but also because it’s the perfect time to stock up on the best dental care products at unbeatable prices.

As someone who works with braces every day, I know how important it is to have the right tools for the job, and this season is a great opportunity to invest in essentials that will make your orthodontic journey smoother.

Let me share my top recommendations for the must-have products you should look out for this Black Friday.


1. Electric Toothbrushes: My Go-To for Cleaner Teeth

black friday deals

Electric toothbrushes are a game-changer for braces wearers! I often recommend them to my patients because they make cleaning around brackets and wires much easier. This Black Friday, you’ll find great deals on top models like:

  • Oral-B Genius X: With AI-powered feedback, it’s like having me as your personal brushing coach!
  • Philips Sonicare Diamond Clean: Gentle yet powerful, perfect for sensitive gums and braces. (click here to check deal)

Look for discounts at Amazon, Target, or Walmart—sometimes as much as 40% off. And don’t forget to grab extra brush heads while you’re at it!


2. Flossers: A Braces Essential

Flossing with braces doesn’t have to be a hassle! Whether you choose a water flosser or a convenient flossing kit, there are great options to make the process easier.

For water flossers, my personal favorite is the Waterpik Aquarius—it’s powerful, easy to use, and incredibly effective at cleaning between teeth and braces. I recommend it to many of my patients for its efficiency.

For those who travel often, the Cordless Waterpik Freedom is a fantastic alternative. Prefer a more traditional option?

There are also innovative flossing kits, like for exemplo the Cocofloss Holiday Set (click here to check deal) designed specifically for braces wearers.

 


3. Orthodontic Wax: Relief When You Need It Most

Brackets rubbing against your cheeks? Orthodontic wax is your best friend. I always keep some on hand at the clinic, and I encourage my patients to do the same. While you might not see huge discounts on wax itself, Black Friday bundles that include it are worth checking out.


4. Specialty Toothpaste: Protect Your Smile

Burst Toothpaste for Children

 

Braces can make your teeth more prone to plaque buildup, so using the right toothpaste is key. For my patients, I recommend options like:

  • Burst Toothpast: supports a strong oral defense by reducing cavity-causing bacteria, freshens breath, hydrates your mouth, and balances pH to restore a healthy oral microbiome. (Click here to check deal)
  • Colgate Total Advanced Protection: It helps fight plaque and protect enamel.
  • Sensodyne Pronamel: Great for those with sensitive teeth or gums.

Keep an eye on Walgreens and CVS for buy-one-get-one-free deals—perfect for stocking up for months ahead!


5. Interdental Brushes: My Favorite for Hard-to-Reach Areas

These tiny brushes are lifesavers for cleaning around wires and brackets. Brands like GUM and TePe are staples in my office, and they’re likely to be discounted this Black Friday. Buy in bulk to save even more!


6. Retainer and Mouthguard Cases: Stay Organized

If you’re nearing the finish line of your braces journey or play sports, don’t forget to check out stylish and functional storage options for your retainers or mouthguards. These often come bundled with cleaning kits at great prices during Black Friday sales.


7. Whitening Kits for a Post-Braces Glow

For those of you who recently got your braces off, congratulations! This Black Friday is the perfect time to grab a teeth whitening kit to celebrate your new smile. I recommend:

  • Crest 3D White Strips: A patient favorite for their effectiveness.
  • GLO Science LED Whitening Kits: High-tech and worth every penny, especially with discounts!

But remember, always check with me or your orthodontist before starting whitening treatments to make sure your teeth are ready.


8. Orthodontic-Friendly Snacks: Treat Yourself

Black Friday isn’t just about dental tools—some deals on food products are braces-friendly too! Look for softer snacks like protein bars, yogurt, or subscription snack boxes. Avoid sticky or hard treats that could damage your braces.

This Black Friday, take advantage of the deals to make your braces journey even more successful. From electric toothbrushes to water flossers and beyond, the right tools will make all the difference. And remember, I’m always here to help you figure out what works best for your smile.
