Yes, we do have colored braces and rubber bands at no additional charge, if you want them. Colored braces can make having braces more fun.

Clear and gold graces are slightly more expensive than silver ones, but the additional cost is a small fraction of the cost of orthodontic treatment. "Colored braces" don’t cost extra.

Rubber bands or elastics contribute a lot to straighter teeth. They are marvels of physics. Attached to your braces, elastics exert the energy force that creates the right amount of pressure to move teeth. It's important to wear your elastics all the time and change them every day so the force is constant which the teeth like. As for bouncing an elastic off someone across the room, it will happen (don't worry, your aim will improve).

Colored braces don't work very well. They are made of plastic which is less durable and discolors. What we do is put colored rings over the metal braces so you can decorate your mouth. Clear, white, and "tooth" colored rings are also available.

Answer: The seal created by the cement has broken. Call your orthodontist's office and schedule an appointment. If the band or bracket detaches from the wire, save it and take it with you to your next appointment.

No! While this is done in a few offices, we feel that orthodontic brackets should only be used on a single patient.

Most sports stores and physiotherapists would have either the strip or round exercise bands. They usually come on a big reel and you can get any length you wish and in different strength, denoted by different colors. I've had a great time reading and using the KSL shot cycle on the website and have put it to good use. I do however have a major problem, I don't seem to be able to get good clearance on the string as it hits the forearm hard and occasionally get caught under the guard (OUCH!).

Well, that is my big problem right now. I have to go to the orthodontist tomorrow and I keep forgetting to wear my rubber bands. I did some research and found out the purpose of rubber bands. According to www.orthodontics.org . . . "Attached to your braces, elastics exert the force that creates the right amount of pressure to move teeth in directions that the braces alone can't.

Rubber bands are important for the added force to move teeth and jaws into correct positions. Achieving the perfect bite is dependent upon the use of rubber bands. They don't work without good patient compliance. The tenderness you may experience at first will go away after a few days.

Rubber bands may cause your teeth to be sensitive for a few days, for which you may take ibuprofen or another pain medication. You may be tempted to remove the rubber bands at the beginning because of the discomfort, but resist the temptation to do so. Please take the pain medication instead, as this will allow your teeth to adjust to the new pressures the rubber bands are exerting. In a few days, you will no longer experience the discomfort.

Most folks don't seem to care if the claw bands are on or not for cooking. Some say they impart a taste to the lobster. If you do decide to remove the rubber bands from the claws before cooking, only do so right before cooking and be sure you know how to handle a lobster without getting pinched (yes, it hurts!). The smaller ones can be quite agile. There are several noteworthy non-meat components you'll find in a cooked lobster. They are all safe to eat.

Extractable protein content (EP) of latex gloves varies from as low as less than 20 micro-gram per gram of gloves (mg/g) to as high as more than 1000 micro-gram (mg/g) depending on the manufacturing methods and processes. Well leached powdered gloves and power-free gloves usually show low EP content below 100 mg/g. Rubber band made of solid dry natural rubber contains the extractable protein below 20 micro-gram per gram of rubber band (mg/g) even for high rubber content rubber band.

Braces (also called orthodontic appliances) can be as inconspicuous—or as noticeable—as you like. Brackets—the part of the braces that attach to each tooth—are smaller and can sometimes be attached to the back of the tooth, making the brackets less noticeable. Brackets may be made of metal, ceramic, plastic or a combination of these materials. Some brackets are clear or tooth-colored.

They might work but only for this reason: Let's say I take a group of fat people and give them a fake magic pill and tell them the pill will make them lost 25 pounds in 3 months. I then take them out and run them 5 miles each and every day. Three months later all of them have lost 25 pounds. Was the pill responsible for the weight loss? No. they lost weight because they got up off their butt and exercised. All training gimmicks work the same way.
