Because orthodontists find it VERY amusing to put their patients through pain. Trust me, for no apparent reason they attached a spring to my braces on one side. I don't think it did anything but it hurt and made cool springy noises. yeep.

If you had your wisdom teeth out that would be the one they put it on making it seem like the last one like my teeth i still have my wisdom teeth so it tooth band tooth. Also it shouldnt hurt if they gave you spacers or seperators



Bands stay on much better than brackets. These bands are probably on your molars and since molars do all the grinding and take a lot of chewing pressure, bands will be less likely to fall off.
