Having to wear rubber bands with braces?

Question

ive been wearing rubber bands with my brace for a while now. i think its to help my overbite. im suppost to get my braces off tomorrow, but i still have an overbite. they also said that they are going to start charging me per appointment. will i be getting them off?

Answer 1

You still have an overbite? Rubber bands aren't for an overbite, they're to correct your bite & make it line up correctly. When doing orthodontics, they sometimes make your bite off...meaning they don't line up right. You might be getting them off. Did you pay in advance? Cuz if you did, then idk what the problem is.

Answer 2

Yeah your probably going to get them off and get a retainer.
