The invention relates to the development of a food or edible product of oleic origin, which acts as a dental lubricant and is intended to reduce friction between orthodontic wires and brackets, thereby providing low, more continuous physiological forces and, consequently, a significant reduction in orthodontic treatment times. The invention is characterised in that it comprises a base element of oleic origin and a stabilising or mixing element and in that it is prepared so that it can also include different additives having sanitary-hygienic properties. The invention is also characterised in that it can be applied easily and immediately and in that it is formulated with different viscosities in order to cover all orthodontic treatment phases.
