How do I put elastic bands on my braces?

The bracket I put my rubber bands around fell off my braces?

  • So I put my rubber bands connecting the very back bottom teeth and my canines. The bracket on one side fell off and the power chain also came off. I called my orthodontist's office and they said if I feel no discomfort to wait until my next appointment which is scheduled in two weeks. I'm only concerned because I'm not able to wear my rubber bands and people always say that not wearing your rubber bands lengthens your treatment time. Should I call them again and request to fix it sooner?

  • Answer:

    Nah...you're fine. I never wore my runner bands and I actually got my braces off 6 months earlier than I was supposed to. They would've upped the date of your appointment if they thought it was necessary! I'd enjoy the next 2 weeks of not having to hassle with them ;)
