Does not wearing your rubber bands with braces really affect you?!
Question: Well, I have had my braces for almost 5 years. My teeth are pretty straight, but I still have an overbite. It just doesn't look right...and I really want a nice smile. Whenever I laugh..my teeth always like stick out and look baddd.
I'm supposed to be wearing rubber bands, but I usually don't. But when I used to wear them, I felt like they weren't helping, so that's why I stopped wearing them!
Do rubber bands really help??

Considering you have had your braces for almost 5 years, which seems like an overexaggeration, that cause may be from you not wearing them.
Not wearing the rubber bands is what is delaying your treatment, they give a great force to aligning your upper and bottom teeth together and jaw. You may not think they do anything, but they are what will help you get your mouth aligned.
Those elastic rubber bands are supposed to be worn 24/7 with the exception of eating and brushing your teeth.
if you really want a nice smile, then start wearing your rubber bands or you can expect to be wearing your braces even longer.
and dont forget to change them at least twice a day, as for the force on the rubber band wears away, and youll need a new one to keep the same force acting on the mouth.
YES THEY REALLY HELP!
ugh, you are going to have major relapse.
all that money and time into braces. Wasted.
Are you serious? Braces for almost 5 years? Maybe not wearing your rubber bands is the reason you've had them this long. Do as the orthodontist says, and you'll have them off in no time...And with a beautiful smile!
Yes they help. I doubled mine and I had them off in almost a year.
OMG YES WEAR THEM
i've had my braces on for months longer than they should have been because I kept forgetting to wear mine.
trust me even though they feel like they're not doing anything, they help heaps and your overbite won't go away without them
