Can you take the bands off of your braces when you eat then put them back on??


Question: my friend has braces and she has like this little hoke thing on the back teeth and she takes them out when she eats at lunch than puts them back in.
i'm just curous cause i am getting braces in like a week
Answers: It sounds like she may have a different type of appliance to correct a tounge thrust habit or something.

If she has tiny rubber bands on the front of her tth then,,yes you take them off until after you have finished eating and brushed.

This also could be her retainer that she has to remove before eating,, and I hope she doesn't wrap them in a napkin,,, but put them in her case instead!!!

Good luck,, and no matter how lazy you feel,, and hate to brush,,, remember to brush your teeth after eating anything.. You will be soooo glad you did when you get your braces off.. and your gums will stay healthy looking.
