usually its required that you wear them 24/7 with the exception of eating and brushing your teeth, otherwise be sure to wear them all day long even when you sleep, you need to change the rubber band at least twice a day to keep the same force because the rubber bands force begins to wear off.

This is what will keep your bite aligned, and its mandatory you wear them or your treatment time will take much longer.

I just got my braces off yesterday after having them on for 3 years because i didnt listen to my orthadontist you need to wear the rubberbands as instructed. They fix your overbite..Trust me they hurt, but wear them i still have a little overbite..& no you dont need to brush your teeth when putting them on. Take them off while eating & replace them. Good luck

Each person is different!!!
Ask your ortho!!
