Totally get what you're saying about porcelain feeling more natural... zirconia can sometimes feel a bit like having a tiny rock in your mouth, lol. B...
Wax was helpful for us too, but honestly, my son hated how fiddly it was—especially when he had to reapply it at school. We ended up trying silicone b...
