RUBBER BANDS
Common Questions:
What are Rubber Bands?
· They ensure proper movement of your teeth and correction of your bite
· They are very important to the final outcome of your treatment
How much do I wear them?
· You need to wear them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (even when sleeping) unless otherwise instructed
· You may remove them only when eating, tooth brushing, playing sports or musical instruments
· Consistency is the key to the success and final outcome of your treatment
Will I be sore?
· You may be sore for the first few days until you get used to them
· If you are inconsistent with wearing your rubber bands, the soreness will remain until you wear them consistently
Do I need to change them often?
· Change elastics daily even if not broken, as they will lose their ability to improve your bite
· Keep extras on hand in case they do break
What if I run out?
· Stop by the office and pick some up or call and we will be happy to mail them to you
