How long will the rubber bands on my teeth hurt?!


Question: How long will the rubber bands on my teeth hurt?
I'm not wearing them right now and I should be lol so after I post this question I'll put them in b/c I heard the more you wear em the faster the braces come off... a few questions... 1) does my getting rubber bands mean my braces will come off soon? 2) If so, how soon? 3) How long will they hurt?

Answers:

yes, normally one of the last things your orthodontist will do is give you rubber bands, i always tell the patients if they dont wear them like they are supposed the longer they will be in braces. They will probably only feel sore for a day or two. just stick with it.

1/2. Usually your orthodontist will give you the rubber bands in your last six months of having braces.
3. The more you wear them you'll get used to them and they wont hurt at all. In fact, you won't even notice them.
