Question: I'm supposed to wear rubber bands for my braces... Can I "double them up" to make the fixing go faster.?.? :D.?

I'm supposed to wear one on each side. They start from my last tooth on the bottom row and go to the "Fang" tooth on the top row.

So can I just put two on each to make it tighter.? Or would that mess it up.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:

I think that would be a silly idea..in all actuality you might cause yourself to have to wear them longer. Ask your ortho.Health Question & Answer

Just do what the orthodontist tells you and in your mind, pretend you have to wear them for life. This way the time will pass more quickly until they come off.Health Question & Answer

I wouldn't. But you might ask your orthodontist if they can provide a little stiffer rubber band.Health Question & Answer

NO it wont help. It wont move faster. So use 1 band at a time. 2 wont help.Health Question & Answer
