Will it affect my teeth if i don't wear my elastic bands?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The "medicine" Orthodontists use not move teeth is light continuous force. If you don't wear elastics, don't apply force, your teeth will not move andnyou will be in braces forever. Isn your teeth get sore with elastic improve your oral hygiene, If gums inflamed any force will hurt. Make sure to floss or WateraPik daily. Take 1 Ibuprofen w meals. Wear elastics 24/7. Soreness will dissipate soon.
