If your orthodontist tells you to start wearing rubber bands ,?

Question

does that mean you are nearing the end of your orthodontic treatment. Is this one of the last things they do?

Answer 1

no it just means that there adding more to your mouth i had rubber bands and i still have braces

Answer 2

defintaly no.=[ i had rubber bands 2 years ago and know im wearing a retaner at nigt (only 4 more months=])

Answer 3

Not necessarilly. It all depends on where you are in your development of your teeth. When I started wearing them, I was very close to ending my treatment. SO all you can do is ask. Good luck!

Answer 4

It could be, but not necessarily  all they are trying to do is pull your bottom and top jaws aligned, so that they fix your underbite.  But if you follow their directions and don't eat chewy things, it will really be sped up.  Good luck.  Hope this helps.

Answer 5

my kids both had rubber bands from the first day of braces til the last.

Answer 6

No, it's just something some people have to have to help fix things in they're mouth. I've had to wear them for like 3 months before.
