Braces: Rubber Bands and Power Chains.

When I had braces, I had to do three types of rubber bands. I dont know how to describe them, but I'll talk ABOUT rubber bands and power-chains.

Rubber Bands are literally small rubber bands to fix your braces bite. You can put them in different positions to change your bite. THere are also different types of rubber bands. WHen you wear them, they do feel weird at first. They feel like really pressured, and sometimes its hard to open your mouth when they are in. It is weird. You take them out when you eat, and brush, and you replace them after you do so.

POWER CHAINS! Are the type of colored elastic ligature that are connect to one another, to close gaps in your teeth. Power chains do hurt, because they are closing gaps in your teeth... It'll hurt where there are gaps in your teeth, for a few days or more, depending on how big the gap is. I only had smaller gaps, so it didn't hurt that much. They bring your teeth closer together.
