Yes, teeth effect bands are safe. Infact, I used them myself and my teeth are very healthy. My orthodontist told me if the band slides up on the gum it can damage that area. However, It isn't likely to happen. You would experience a lot of intolerable pain before it would damage that area.

AnswerIt might work temporarily, with some risk of damaging your gums. But you would need some kind of a retainer to make your teeth stay in that position after you have removed the bands.

I would recommend to see a professional instead (dentist or orthodontist).

My son had 2 tooth bands go up under his gums and needed an operation to remove them , very painful and 4 years later still having major gum probelms, fear he may lose his front teeth, how can these be safe? He used to break them whilst eating so did not realise why his gums/teeth were so sore, it was at least 6 weeks before he saw a dentist/hygenist and then back to orthodontist before being sent for his operation as they thought it was just a probelm with his gums! We now intend to make a complaint as they have damaged his teeth and gums , THESE ARE NOT SAFE, and we were given them by an orthodontist!

I can't come up with any pros. The con is if you move your teeth without the proper knowledge of how long it should take you can cause root resorption and the eventual loss of teeth due to lack of support.

Yes you can, but the bands used for orthodontic work are both thinner and stonger to provide the necessary tension. *You should consult with your dentist or orthodontist before making any changes to your teeth spacing, as this can affect your bite and the adjacent teeth.


Is there a way to close a gap between an adult's teeth without braces and how long does it take?

I was looking for some cheap and invisible way to close my teeth gap. I found out that Teeth effect bands are the quickest and cheapest way to close teeth gap and they are clear bands. I am 35 and I had big gap between my front teeth. I used teeth effect bands from www.oralband.com for $19.99 and it closed my teeth gap in my front teeth in less than 1 month. You can either use: 1- Bonding (white fillings) which take only one appointement 2- Porcelain veneers which take two appointements. 3- Invisible orthodontistry (Invisalign) which takes at least a year for a full mouth straightening of your teeth. Yes, teeth effect bands from teethgap.com can be used to close your gap without going to the dentist. That "teeth effects" stuff sounds like a gimmick. I doubt if it will be able to close teeth gaps. I went to their website and it doesn't look like it can be trusted. They don't even have a phone number. Actually, the teeth gap is not a gimmick and it does work. I had a kind-of small gap and I used the bands. After three weeks, the gap was almost completely gone. I HIGHLY recommend this. I've used the teeth makeover bands, and they worked for me *shrugs* Worth a try. They're cheaper than teeth effect bands and their site is more professional. Invisalign takes about 4 months and it is Cheap around $20


Where do you purchase teeth effect bands?

If you mean rubber bands for braces, I think you can get them from your orthodontist.


How do you fix a gap in your teeth without going to the dentist?

You can use teeth effect bands to close your gap. www.teethgap.com Teeth Gap uses special Compressor bands called Teeth Effects to draw your teeth together. They provide "the pull" necessary to move the teeth quickly, and in the right direction. You stretch the teeth effect band when you put it around your teeth. Since the band is stretched out it pulls the teeth towards one another because it wants to contract.
