Braces are quite literally a mouthful. So what’s the deal with the rubber bands that some people have to put on top of their braces? As odd as they may look and feel, rubber bands actually play an important role in your orthodontic progress.

ORTHODONTIC RUBBER BANDS

There are two types of rubber bands on braces: elastic ligatures and interarch rubber bands. Ligatures are the rubber bands that appear interwoven into each bracket; they come in all sorts of different colors and can be a fun form of self-expression. These work to keep the archwire in place through the bracket, but can also help move your teeth. Over time, they lose strength and must be replaced at every appointment.

Can you change braces color yourself at home?

You can’t change braces wear at home, though it may seem easy to perform. The reason for that is you need special instruments that your dentist use to attach the elastic bands to braces.

Most importantly, it needs expert hands, otherwise, you can damage the brackets and wires. This disrupts the tooth movement.

How many times can you change your braces color?

You can change the braces color as many times as you want during orthodontic treatment. You just have to change it after a certain period of time.
