They are of the following types: Cross elastic Some of them make contact with two teeth, and some contact with more teeth. These elastic bands are used in the same jaw. However, it’s mainly used to close the gap between teeth. Rectangular or box elastic works in the same way as triangle elastics, but it uses for more than one teeth. With the help of those two teeth, rubber bands pull the canine to the occlusion plane. We take support from the lower two teeth to form a triangle. He or she chooses 3 teeth to place the band, and do it in such a way that the apex of the band forms on the canine. To bring the canine in that plane, the orthodontist uses the triangle rubber bands in braces. Suppose, your one of your canine isn’t touching your opposite tooth or plane where all teeth take a bite. V-shaped or Triangle elastic is used for the correction of a canine tooth. This solves the open bite problem over time. As a result, upper and lower teeth get connected with each other. When you have an open bite, a configuration of a box or triangle is created using the rubber bands. This is used in various shapes such as box, vertical, or triangle elastics. The orthodontist uses this to correct open bites. It’s also used to close the space between front teeth.įor doing that, one end of the band is attached to the bracket of the lower canine or lateral incisor, and the other end is attached to the upper lateral incisor or central incisor tooth. When you have a deep bite or overbite, you need these rubber bands. We may also have to wear this if you have an anterior crossbite. It could set you back days or even weeks in your treatment.One end of elastic is attached to the bracket of the lower canine or lateral incision tooth and another end is attached to the hook of an upper molar band. We do not recommend you remove the elastics on your own, even if it does make it feel better. For the most part, your orthodontist will not tell you to remove the elastics. Generally, braces rubber bands do not cause pain and you don’t need pain relief specifically for that. Your dentist or orthodontist will tell you if it’s appropriate to remove the elastics to help relieve the pain. It could be a signal of damage that is being done or that your braces are not aligned properly. If you experience pain that is more than just mild, this is a reason to call your dentist orthodontist immediately. You should not be experiencing any cuts, burns, abrasions, or blistering. It should not be anything more than a simple, mild pain reliever will remedy.
All dentists and orthodontists will remind you that some pain is to be expected.
That’s because you’re pulling on teeth and teeth really shouldn’t be pulled upon. Braces can be painful and the braces rubber bands can hurt just as much.
