Braces!!!?
You need to keep your elastics, or rubberbands on 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. You only take them off when you brush your teeth, or maybe when you eat a meal. You can eat some meals with them on, though. If you swallow rubberbands, it's okay. It's not going to do any damage to your body.
Reply:usually all day and night.. but you have to go with what the orthodontist tells you.





you can change them a few times a day when they get icky though
Reply:Usually you have to wear them all the time except when you are eating, brushing and flossing. Call your dentist to be sure, everybody is different.
Reply:If you hafta wear the rubberbands they hafta be worn at all times unless you're eating. Especially at night that's when they do the most work
Reply:yes u have to.
Reply:it's absolutely your choice. I had braces and i wore rubberbands every now and then. i think ideally they'd like it to be 24/7 except when eating, etc. [they dont want you swollowing them, though i have before because ive been playing with them and shot them down my throat, so it wont kill you]. but if you want to follow doctors orders, wear them as often as possible, but if you need a break just take one. i wore them periodically, more not so than on, and my orthodontist said i was making great progress with them. so it all depends on your mouth/teeth and personal preference. good luck!
Reply:You need to wear them from after you brush your teeth untill you go to bed.Oh bye the way replace them with a new pair when you eat,because thats just nasty.





So eat with the same pair from that mornin but take out every meal and replace with new!
