What's the purpose of those rubber band things?

Question

I just got braces and I was given these tiny rubber bands that go from my bottom molars to my top canines, why do I have to wear them, how do they work?

Answer 1

the rubber bands, headgear, and wires are what actually move your teeth.

Answer 2

bottom molars to top canines.

This means

you have class II malocclusion

This means your chin is much behind than you upper jaw.

So what the doc is doing is ...... he is pushing you lawer jaw forward.

He is trying to make you beautiful
