3/16 Inch Orthodontic Elastic Rubber Bands, 100 Bands per Pack, Natural, Heavy 4.5 Ounces Gap Teeth Bands

I bought these bands a week ago to test them out (pictures included). Pros: they work. The result in the second pic is after leaving them in overnight (roughly seven hours). (1) My gap closed a good amount in such a short amount of time. (2) They were very easy to use, and they didn’t slip into my gums at all. Even when I brushed my teeth they stayed in place. Cons: Not complaints, as these are to be expected. (1) My teeth wore sore to point where if I tried to bite into something, I’d have to use my side teeth. It was a bearable soreness though. Note that even when the gap closed, if I take the band off right away, the gap comes back. My guess is that I’d have to use the bands for at least a month straight to see permanent results. Still, not a bad amount of time.

I used these because my orthodontist had me wearing them during the last 3 months of my braces. They are strong and don't tear easily. I see some folks on here wearing them around there teeth I just shake my head. Yes they might help you in moving your teeth around but why do you think they make people wear retainers for the rest of their lives after the braces are removed? You guessed right, they will try and shift back! These are not meant to be worn on teeth LOL. Go see a professional for that before you mess yourselves up.

My daughter had been wanting these and I looked everywhere for them. Of course good ole Amazon came through. They are good quality. Not sure how they work for gaps but I will update in a few months.

These gap teeth bands actually work. After a month of using them overnight on my two front teeth they have almost completely closed the gap. They are thicker than the two other bands I have ordered and seem to fit the best. I am just wondering if I will need to use a retainer to keep the gap from opening up again once it has been completely closed. I would have never imagined that I could save on the cost of getting braces from the dentist when all i had to do was use this simple rubber band on my teeth.

I bought these thinking I could fix the gap in my son's front teeth while saving a fortune, but boy was I wrong. We couldn't even get them to stay on and they kept slipping off. It snapped my son's gums a few times until he gave up. We were pretty disappointed when we found out it was a no go... Just visit an ortho. At least that's what I have decided to do.

The quality of the bands is amazing which is why i’m giving it 3 stars, but this is the second time i’ve ordered theses specific bands and I’ve yet to receive the full 100pcs. The bag i just received came with 52 bands rather than the advertised 100.

I bought this product because my ortho gave me a pack from a different brand that was latex free but it kept breaking. So I bought this and this was so much better. It was tight but it did what it was suppose to do. I notice a big difference with my teeth after a week. During my next ortho appointment I was surprised to see I was given this same pack I bought off of Amazon. I would highly recommend.

I actually purchased these 3/16 Heavy Orthodontic Teeth Gap Bands to use with my Facial-Flex Facial Exerciser since the bands they offer for the Facial Flex system are extremely expensive --$9 for a three month supply, changing them weekly. Although it is not recommended, I have to use two to get the same resistance of Facial Flex's 16 oz. bands, but I wanted to write this review to let buyers know of the good quality of these bands. Since I stretch these bands two hundred times each time that I use the facial exerciser I can attest to their high quality, durability, and strength that did not diminish over this past week as I used them for the first time. To get 100 of these bands at such a good price of $5.97 is an added bonus and very much appreciated!

The bands are made of great-quality rubber. I wore them for about 3 months and they fixed my teeth. The bands will make your teeth hurt at first but you will get used to it after. I had to get a retainer afterward though to hold teeth in place.

Awesome thanks

Very similar to the bands provided by my orthodontist, don't snap easily.
