Can you use teeth effect bands to close the gap in your front teeth?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, it IS possible for you to do this, you see, my friend did this (her gap wasn't huge) she took a small rubber band, roped it around a few times so it was tight and she could feel the pulling, then she left it for a few night and it did go away. She started treating the gap like a retainer and only put the rubber band on at night. (Note: she did use new rubber bands, no worries.) Then she was sure that the gap wouldn't come back, so she stopped wearing the rubber band and it worked for her. There is a very small gap but it was small, and a lot of people have a very small gap. It looks just as if she had braces.
But, remember that this was a some what painful procedure so she did have sore gums (you also get sore gums from having braces close your gap) but it was well worth it to her, and I'll admit. It worked!
I recommend you do this at nights mostly, or if your just having a weekend by yourself you should wear the rubber band all the time. If you have a huge gap, this may take quite a while. But it worked for my friend Sarah so it should work for you!
Good luck!

How many dental practices in the UK?
Asked by Wiki User
From what I can find there are no definitive answers but I did find a calculation of 1.6 to 2.3 doctors per every 1000 people in England. I guess that is pretty good considering that it is calculated that the United States has 2.6 doctors per every 1000 persons.

Is it safe and effective to use teeth effect bands to close gaps in your teeth?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, teeth effect bands are safe. Infact, I used them myself and my teeth are very healthy. My orthodontist told me if the band slides up on the gum it can damage that area. However, It isn't likely to happen. You would experience a lot of intolerable pain before it would damage that area.

AnswerIt might work temporarily, with some risk of damaging your gums. But you would need some kind of a retainer to make your teeth stay in that position after you have removed the bands.I would recommend to see a professional instead (dentist or orthodontist).
My son had 2 tooth bands go up under his gums and needed an operation to remove them , very painful and 4 years later still having major gum probelms, fear he may lose his front teeth, how can these be safe? He used to break them whilst eating so did not realise why his gums/teeth were so sore, it was at least 6 weeks before he saw a dentist/hygenist and then back to orthodontist before being sent for his operation as they thought it was just a probelm with his gums! We now intend to make a complaint as they have damaged his teeth and gums , THESE ARE NOT SAFE, and we were given them by an orthodontist!
