What do rubber bands do?

Orthodontics, Braces, Dentistry, Malocclusion,SASO
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). See similar questions...

What about colored braces?

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. See similar questions...

Where can I find rubber bands that can stretch to a full draw length?

KSL International Archery
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!).

What should I expect from my rubber bands?

Orthodontist • Gainesville , FL • Dr. Michael Agui...
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.

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. See similar questions...
