Help! any orthodontists? braces question?

Question

ok so i reaaaally REALLY want to get my braces off before i start my new high school /: and my ortho said my teeth are straight but i have a little bit of an over bite so i have to wear rubber bands. is there any way i could take my braces off but keep the hooks that hold the rubber bands so i could still wear the rubber bands?

Answer 1

ask ur dentist, simple!

Answer 2

yep im pretty sure sinse the hook are not connected to the brackets  but call the ortho

Answer 3

nope. i had an overbite too. the longer and more often you wear the elastics the faster your ovrbite will reduce, the faster you will get them off. after you eat immediately put them on. my ortho said i would get mine off in august of last year so i would start gr. 8 with a beautiful simle but i got mine off in april of this year. it's jsut an estimate that they give you. they could be wrong. don't worry about it.

Answer 4

I didn't get my braces off until I was halfway through my junior year.

They're really not that bad. What's the big deal?
