Most of our patients at Carolina Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry will need to wear rubber bands at some point during their orthodontic treatment. The main reason our patients are instructed to wear rubber bands is to correct their bite. If your teeth do not fit together properly, Drs. Luis Leite and Rick Singh will recommend that rubber bands be used. Drs. Luis Leite and Rick Singh may also recommend using rubber bands to close or open spaces.
