want to know do rubberbands around the teeth close gaps?

Accepted Answer

Caution: For a short term, your dentist may use rubber bands to close gaps between teeth, especially front teeth. It is not a common, or safe, way to move teeth except by a dental professional. Moving teeth safely requires a plan. When the tooth moves, so does the root. It also changes the way other teeth work together. So do not try this by yourself without a dentist's exam ; supervision.
