okay, so about a week ago i got bands for my overbite. my ortho didn't really tell me about what they do and when i'll be getting them off. so can anybody tell me what they're for and some tips for them?
They are ment to correct your over bite & getting them off depends on if you wear them all the time except for when eating and when your dentist feels your over bite is cleared. I wore mine a year.
they pull your top teeth back and your lower jaw forward in order to correct the overbite. i wore them and i didnt find them to be too bad. even if you only wear them at night it makes a difference, but if you wear them all day and night your overbite will get fixed pretty fast!
