Answer 2

i made the mistake of not wearing them at all times and now i have a messed up overbite kind of after getting braces off today actually...but when i DID wear them i wouldnt brush my teeth or eat with them i really only slept with them

Answer 3

you can sleep with them in, but i wouldn't eat with them... they snap and that hurts.

Answer 4

Yes you should sleep with them in and double them like put 2 rubberbands in the places you need them instead of one. My orthodontist said that it helps. You can brush you teeth with them in but why? It's easier to brush without them.

Answer 5

Yes, you can sleep with them and you probably might want to take out your rubber bands out when you brush because food might get stuck there.
