Teeth effects bands?

if you have used the teeth effects bands, i want honest and experienced answers only, please. i am trying to get rid of a gap between my front two teeth and i want to know how well they work. are they permanent, and if not how long will my teeth start to open? how long will they go completely all the way? will they make gaps in between the teeth next to my two front teeth or anywhere else in my mouth? if so, how big will they be? sorry, i just want answers before i spend my money. an have they made anyone%26#039;s teeth fall out?

Teeth effects bands?
I guess I%26#039;m one of the only people out there who were crazy enough to try them out, because I%26#039;ve already answered a couple of other questions related to the ToothGap Teeth Effects Bands... I don%26#039;t mind letting you know about my experience though...





Well, they were delievered quickly, and they were inexpensive..about 20 bucks...I%26#039;m not sure if that promotion is still on though...


I have one gap between my two front teeth, and two tiny gaps on my bottom row, which I hate more than the top one. Anyhow, when you first start using that bands, it KILLS. I consider myself to have a really good threshold for pain, but often when I wore them to bed, I would either wake up and tear them out, pull them off in my sleep, not be able to sleep....once I took advil, and I am someone that hates taking drugs. Your teeth and gums become very very sensitive. Just taping on my teeth would send a terrible sharp pain straight through the tooth and gums. It becomes very very difficult to eat; you can%26#039;t bite at all with whichever teeth your using the bands on, especially if they are you incisors.


Okay...well...I%26#039;ll answer your questions now. Um, when I was able to bear the bands ( it eases up after a few days, though it%26#039;s still tough to eat) (sometimes I%26#039;d wear two at a time), I would say my tiny gaps took about a week to close. I loved it, and was close to swear by the product. As for the dominant gap between my two front teeth (let%26#039;s say it%26#039;s about 2-2.5 mm), it was about 50% closed when I decided to stop using them, it probably would have closed completely in a total of 2 weeks.


However...


Every time I brushed my teeth, about 80% - 90 % of the progress would be erased, and the gaps would just open up again, with ease. If I forgot to put them on at night, or if I was out on the road and they broke and I couldn%26#039;t replace it...they start to open again. That website lies. You%26#039;d need to wear them your entire life to keep the gap closed...which is logical, considering how quick of a solution this product claims to be.


As for my bottom row, no, it didn%26#039;t cause spaces on either sides of the band, but yes, as for my two front teeth, it did. I already had a small space between my left front tooth and the incisor beside it, and by wearing the bands, it made that space bigger, and much more obvious. It%26#039;s been months since I%26#039;ve used them, and that space hasn%26#039;t gone back to normal. It about equal to the gap between my two front teeth, though thanks to where it is, it doesn%26#039;t bother me too much. There were a few reasons why I decided quitting the program, including the possible dangers it was doing to my oral health, but I was also really concerned that if I had stopped treatment, my gaps would open up bigger than what they were originally.


It most definitely isn%26#039;t permanent by any means.


And no, lol, if you%26#039;ve got healthy teeth, it shouldn%26#039;t make your teeth fall out. (lol though I worried a bit about that too, and even had a dream about it happening lol)





To make a long story short, I most definitely would not reccomend them.


If you google the product *which you probably have already* you may be able to find some other not so pleasant testimonials. That website of theirs looks very cheap and biased, doesn%26#039;t it?


My only suggestion would be, if you really are uncomfortable with your teeth, to talk to a dentist, and think about more legitimate solutions.... though of course, more expensive.


Every now ang again when I find little extra bands around, I put them on my tiny lower gaps to tight them up a bit, but.... I don%26#039;t take it seriously. I probably shouldn%26#039;t even do that, because which your teeth moving back and forth, back and forth...they even get a bit wobbly. Just a bit.


If you still decide to purchase the product...just be careful, and read up a bit more on sources unrelated to the website. Don%26#039;t depend on it though, it%26#039;s best use would be for a temporary shaping of your smile.





Hope this helps...Good luck and God Bless.
Reply:Ok first off I wouldn%26#039;t really buy something off the TV or internet to fix your teeth. If you are trying fix your gap I suggest going to a good dentist. It%26#039;s not a bad experience trust a girl that had to get all of her teeth pulled. They will probably suggest a retainer most aren%26#039;t that bad and you can barely tell someone is wearing them they normally take 6months to a year to get really good results the other thing is you can look into is veneers they normally help with the gap as well.. if you don%26#039;t have a deformity where you teeth bulge out and what not that might be your best bet..





All they are, are little caps on your teeth that will close the gap because they are slightly bigger than your actual teeth. These also help with discoloration of your teeth. Hope this helps.. I personally just don%26#039;t trust ads on the internet because several of them are bogus especially when these BANDS are literally clear rubber bands.. I would not suggest them
