I just got braces but i have to wear rubberbands with them!!?

I got braces a week ago, I hate having to wear small rubberbands to bring my top tooth into place, Has anyone ever dealt with this before? Im going to have my brace for about 22-24 months, will i have to have wear the rubberbands for the full 2 years? i forgot to ask the dentist, Thanks for the Help!.

How long did you have to wear the rubberbands?

2 months ago
Good Answers, Im going to let this be decided by vote because i liked all of them.

I've had to wear rubberbands... let's see... 3 or 4 times now. You start by wearing them until your next appoinment (about a month for me) and then they either say you can stop, or they say keep wearing them til the next one, where the process repeats.
You will NOT have to wear the rubber bands for the full time.. anyway it's VERY unlikely, I've never heard of that happening. It'll probably just be 1-3 months at a time or so.
And it won't always hurt either! :)
