Clear 3/16" 4.5 oz - Orthodontic Elastic - Braces - Rubber Bands

Good strength and durability. Arrived as indicated by the shipper. Satisfied

These elastics keep breaking and loosing elasticity. Horrible quality and overpriced. Regret my purchase.

Product is exactly as described - it is a quality product and is priced well. Delivery was better than expected.

My husband has been using them for about two months now and they've been closing the gap. They work pretty well.

These bands are awesome! Years after having my wisdom teeth removed, my teeth have slowly started to move; creating a small slit-like gap between my two front teeth. I went to a dentist to get some filler put in to make it less noticeable, but they totally botched the job! Since I have Medicaid, and it only covers one filling a year, I would've had to pay $450 to get it fixed. Lol!! I found that ridiculous considering my gap wasn't even that big. So I turned to Amazon for these gap bands that are only $5. I couldn't believe how fast the results started to show! They are hardly noticeable when wearing them, and are comfortable to wear. When I was showing my family they had to get super close in order to even see them on my teeth. Knowing that, I began feeling more comfortable wearing them in public. I've been wearing them to work, some outings, and while I sleep. However, it did take a little bit for me to get used to talking with them on. Since my tongue was hitting the back of the band, it felt awkward, but after a few days my pronunciations went back to normal. Also, I can't eat while wearing them. But their super easy to take off so it's no biggie. CONS: Unfortunately, they are super hard to get on the first couple times because they are so small. I've had a few shoot across the room my first time trying them out. Also, I had to order another package of them because the bottom of my first baggie was slit open. So instead if receiving 100 of them, I only got 12, but the second one I got came perfect. FYI: The more you use the same band, the more stretched out it becomes. Try switching up the bands every other day for the hold to stay strong on your teeth. The bands will break if they are stretched too much. Make sure you wear them everyday for several hours for at least a month, otherwise the gap will start to appear again. After a month goes by, wear them every so often to keep the gap from reappearing in the future. Also, keep in mind when closing one gap you are creating another somewhere else. So be aware of that if you are trying to fix a large gap. IMPORTANT: Make sure you are placing the bands in the middle of your teeth and not up into your gums. Google pictures of what problems that can cause and you'll take my advice. Lol But I highly recommend these!! You get 100 of them for a great price, and they are effective! ***If helpful, please click 'Helpful'*** :)
