Can you use teeth effect bands to close the gap in your front teeth?

Yes, it IS possible for you to do this, you see, my friend did this (her gap wasn't huge) she took a small rubber band, roped it around a few times so it was tight and she could feel the pulling, then she left it for a few night and it did go away. She started treating the gap like a retainer and only put the rubber band on at night. (Note: she did use new rubber bands, no worries.) Then she was sure that the gap wouldn't come back, so she stopped wearing the rubber band and it worked for her. There is a very small gap but it was small, and a lot of people have a very small gap. It looks just as if she had braces.

But, remember that this was a some what painful procedure so she did have sore gums (you also get sore gums from having braces close your gap) but it was well worth it to her, and I'll admit. It worked!

I recommend you do this at nights mostly, or if your just having a weekend by yourself you should wear the rubber band all the time. If you have a huge gap, this may take quite a while. But it worked for my friend Sarah so it should work for you!

Good luck!
