I just got rubber bands...

Question

I had my braces since June 2007 (14 months) and yesterday I got rubber bands. My teeth are pretty much straight, but i still have a little gap in my front teeth, but i think it's almost closed in. the ortho also told me to double up the rubber bands on each side, so is that going to make it faster? i'm supposed to be getting them off after a year and a half, which would be in a few months, so by getting rubber bands does that mean i'm goign to be getting them off soon??

Answer 1

I actually got my braces off  about 6 months ago, and went through the same thing.  It sounds like if you're definitely going to be getting them off soon!! Congrats!  

Answer 2

Yes, you get rubber bands towards the end of having braces.
