Chrissy,

My daughter has braces, the only thing so far that I know to be careful of (with any dental work really) is to be sure to ask for them to use NON-powdered gloves. Other than that, we don't seem to have any other problems. she's had an expander and braces in.

I hope that helps!

God Bless!

My son has celiac and needs to have impressions done by the orthodontist to be fitted for braces. Does anyone know if the stuff they use to make the impression is gluten free???

      Are Good & Gather Products Safe?

      Are you using the same mixer that you used for your gluten containing baking? That could be your culprit.

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits
