Will wearing two rubber bands make the process go faster?
I just got rubber bands to Pull Down a tooth with my braces and I was wondering if I wore two rubber bands at night my tooth would come down quicker? I really really want that tooth to come down quickly, I've been waiting to get a rubber band on the stupid peeking tooth for 4 years. would double banding help?
No, that would be a big mistake. Teeth are moved at very low pressure so that the bone around the tooth grows in the right way. If you use too much force then the tooth will actually move slower in the long run because you actually cause the bone around the tooth to undergo necrosis. So for you sake and your orthodontists sake please just what they say.
