When you see someone wearing braces with a few small rubber bands hanging from their mouth, are you also curious: what are they for? In fact, these small rubber bands play a vital role in orthodontic treatment! Today, Daoak Polymer Materials will take you to learn about it.
1. Braces control teeth, rubber bands control bite
Braces are primarily responsible for aligning teeth.
Rubber bands are specifically used to adjust the relationship between the upper and lower jaws, or your bite. They apply gentle, steady pressure to guide teeth into their final correct position.
2. What specific problems can it solve?
Improve overbite (upper teeth excessively covering the lower teeth)
Correct underbite (lower teeth covering the upper teeth)
Close gaps between teeth, especially when used with a power chain
Adjust open bite (upper and lower front teeth not meeting) and cross bite
These small rubber bands can be said to play a crucial role in the ultimate success of orthodontic treatment.
3. The Key to Success: Persistence and Replacement
To maximize the effectiveness of your rubber band, be sure to follow your doctor's advice:
Wear it as much as possible throughout the day (usually 20-22 hours a day), except when eating and brushing. Otherwise, the teeth may push back, affecting the effectiveness.
Remember to replace the rubber band with a new one daily, as the strength of the band decreases over time. Only when it's fresh can it provide stable, consistent pressure.
4. Fourth, safety is paramount, and material is key.
For products that come into direct contact with the oral cavity, safety is always paramount. Orthodontic elastic bands are typically made of medical-grade latex, which is biocompatible and safe to use.
