Has anyone ever heard of using small store bought rubberbands to wrap around front teeth to bridge a gap?

I don't have a way to pay for dental care and would just like to find a way to bring this embarassing gap between my front teeth together.

yes, it will work. You may have to wrap the band around a couple of times, but it will provide the pressure required to slowly move your teeth into position. You can also purchase the correct type of dental bands which are clear from several sources as well.
Reply:I don't think you should do that. You may end up loosening your front teeth or moving them out of position.





A dentist once told me that my son had a gap between his two front teeth, and it was due to a strand of ligament there.


They basically have to cut it across and pull it out. After that the gap would close. We decided that we didn't want to go that route, and have just accepted that little gap.


Take care!
Reply:The gap in your front teeth is embarrassing, but you are willing to walk around with rubber bands surrounding your teeth?





If it works in your head, go for it.
Reply:Well, if you cannot pay for full braces, why not try the front teeth braces or something like that? My friend has got braces only on her front 4 tooth to close the gaps in her two front tooth. Doesn't cost as much as braces, and it's faster than putting on braces. She had it off in just 4 months.


I don't encourage using rubberbands without a dentist's advice.
