Braces can help to treat a variety of conditions that impact your teeth and jaw. They use force to help move your teeth and jaw into new positions.
This force is applied by an arch wire that runs through brackets that have been attached to the surface of your teeth.
If you have braces, it’s possible that you’ll need to wear rubber bands at some point during your treatment. Rubber bands work to apply additional force to certain areas.
What do rubber bands do for braces?
Rubber bands are used to increase the force that’s applied to a specific area of your mouth. You may also see them referred to as elastics.
Rubber bands connect to the brackets on your braces and can be positioned in many different conformations. They’re attached and secured using small metal hooks on the bracket.
There are several things that rubber bands do for braces. They’re often used to help adjust different types of misaligned jaw, such as:
overbite
underbite
open bite
crossbite
They may also be used with braces to help adjust spacing between teeth or to adjust the positioning of teeth, such as helping to straighten a tooth that’s leaning backward.
When do you start wearing rubber bands for braces?
When you begin using rubber bands with your braces depends on your specific treatment plan. For some, rubber bands may be used after a few adjustments. For others, they may be used closer to the end of treatment and for others they are not part of your treatment!
Additionally, not everyone will need to wear rubber bands with their braces. Your dentist will let you know if rubber bands are a part of your treatment plan.
