Keep forgetting to wear my bands?!
Question:
Keep forgetting to wear my bands?
I was told to wear bands about 2 months ago. I wore them for most of last month, but i forgot to weart them this month and just today i finally remembered that i should be wearing them. Is that bad? What is going to happen now?
Answers:
If you are talking about bands for braces, I wouldn't skip them. As annoying as they are, they were prescribed for a purpose. Failing to wear them won't hurt your teeth, but may extend the time you have to keep your braces on. My orthodontist knew if we didn't wear ours; she sent kids out of the office crying on occasion, but it was effective. I once knew a guy who had to keep his an extra two years because he never wore his bands...
