Teeth Gap uses special Compressor bands
called Teeth Gap Bands to
draw your teeth together. The Teeth Gap Bands will be very important
to your treatment. They provide "the pull" necessary to move the teeth quickly, and
in the right direction. Here are a few pointers which will help you get the most
out of wearing the Teeth Gap Bands:
-
Attach
the Teeth Gap Band as indicated. Take one band out of the package. Grasp one band
with index finger and thumb of each hand and stretch it out. Slowly slide the
band around the outside of the teeth with the gap between them. (Same way you
would floss your teeth once you get one side in work on the other.)
-
A
mirror may be necessary at first to put on Teeth Gap Bands, but soon you will
be able to change the bands quickly and with little effort.
-
For the
first few days, the teeth may become sensitive. This is a sign of movement, so
do not let this discourage you. As the teeth become use to this pressure, the
soreness will subside.
-
Use a
new Teeth Gap Band every night. A fresh band is more effective than an
used one.
-
Teeth Gap Bands should be worn every night and to speed
the process up they can also be worn during the day. (Don't worry, we have the new Clear Teeth Gap Bands that are barely
visible)
-
Teeth Gap Bands can be wore anytime except while eating or when brushing teeth.
-
If
teeth become especially sensitive take a break! Leaving bands on to long can
move the teeth to fast which might cause root damage.
-
You can
stretch Teeth Gap Bands out before you put around your teeth to lessen the
pressure pulling on your teeth.
