The pain is real whenever it slips off when you've pulled it to hook to the other side. Like, the impact of the elasticity is no joke. The side of my lips has suffered a lot of red stinging bruises from the slips😂
I just got rubber bands and just COULDN'T GET THEM ON! Then I remembered I saw this guy on TH-cam before and looked it up. Got it on instantly after! Thank you so much!!
I just got them today and I was stressing trying to put these in. But the video worked! I also got that tool to help so I have to try using that as well
A couple days ago I JUST got my rubber bands and the first time I tried to put them on I gave up and the next day I tried it again and it took my like 5 minutes to get them on and now I just use 2 fingers and it’s so easy now I get it on the first time, I got a weird wire that has the top hooks by my K-9s (It’s just a hook both sides), so I have long nails not too long so I put the rubber band on my thumb and index finger and have my nails under the bottom bracket hook and have my index finger on the top hook, and make the rubber band slide of so it won’t fly everywhere. So that all makes it easy to put the rubber bands on. If you read this all and like what I do 👇🏻
I could never put my bands on with my fingers, too slimy in there. So I bought a rubber band hook off of Amazon. They work much better and less frustrating.
How did you get your teeth that white? Every time, if I use my toothpaste, it doesn’t do anything it just cleans it not whiten it and it says it whitens too. How did you get that good teeth?
thank you so much i waa using 2 hands literally got my mum to help and we both got annoyed at eachother lol saw this video did it in 5 seconds both sides lol
I have Invisalign. Do you use elastics with your Invisalign patients? If so, can you explain how yours works? Do you have hooks on your Invisalign? I have had Invisalign for 13 months now with no elastics, but I just had a surgery where now I have to use elastics to pull down my upper canines. My set up is odd, I’m just curious how other people are doing it. Thank you for any info 🙏🙏🙏 PS: I don’t have any hooks on mine. My ortho just cut my aligners by hand to make a spot to hook them on, but I can’t get mine on at all. I’m going back next week to see if we can fix it or find another solution.
Of course!! They can (and will) get dirty. Just not like teeth because you'll have to take them off to eat or drink anything that's not cold water. I'm on Invisalign and I always brush my trays every morning when I wake up and when I go to sleep. I also brush them sometimes just before putting them again after meals, but that's just me that I like to have them as clean as possible. Using just your brush and some water will suffice, but sometimes you will want to use a little bit of your paste. I never tried any dish or hand soap. My trays are always clean and cristal clear! Just don't use very abrasive pastes and you're good to go :).
My orthodontists told me from back to the front but I might tried this and see if its easier. I don't use this method. I'll try this in the morning and its night in the uk.
When your jaw or bites is bothering you. Or if you want to go through cosmetic procedure for the sake of aesthetic teeth when smiling. For me, it's both.
i have something like this, but not braces. i have to long brackets on either side of my top teeth covering three teeth. then i have a button/hook on one of my teeth on either side of my bottom teeth. i attach rubber bands to the button in the bottom, then up to the front hook of the brackets. i wear a retainer on my bottom teeth with a carve out so it goes over my buttons. it’s to fix an overbite.
I have invisalign and I have to wear bands from maxillary first premolars (precision cuts) to mandibular second molars (buttons). It's almost impossible for me to put them using my fingers, so I use some dental floss. First, I pass the floss through the band, then place the band on the button, pull the floss until the rubber gets close to the cut and finally hook it. This makes the process of wearing them much easier. In less than a minute you're ready to go!
When she crossed her eyes, I lost it 😂
Hahaha
I'm getting braces soon do i have to do anything before I get them?
@@kaityntilley2350 definelty eat the foods that you won’t be allowed to ear when you have braces, that’s what I’m going to do before I get my expander

Sorry but did you get used to them? It has been 11 months since this comment and I just put them on today and it feels horrible 😢
@@wassim189I just got mine today. Have you gotten used to them
Not only u
“Don’t even use two finger!” Uses two fingers-
Thanks for reminding me to put my rubber bands in 😂😂
Haha 😂 thanks for reminding me I only have to wear them at night now so I’m happy hopefully get tj off soon
tip from someone who’s been wearing rubber bands for nearly a year, put the bands on the bottom first! it makes it so so so much easier
I swear for first time wearing rubber band is very uncomfortable but once you wear it all time , you will feel comfortable with it!
Pov me not taking 10 min putting theses bands on 😂
This is what I do with no one ever helping me
Hold on, as long as I’ve been wearing my bands and I had no idea there were colors 😂
@@mv2010- lmfao but I’m just sick of the color since it’s not actually white and it looks so gross
Ikr?????
@Jungkook Navidad I keep forgetting to ask but all I’ve seen is clear
Not be putting my rubber bands back on when this video came up-
thank you so much. my orthodontist just said “use your fingers to put them on”
Tysm omg. I was literally struggling so much and when I saw this video, I was able to do it very easily
The pain is real whenever it slips off when you've pulled it to hook to the other side. Like, the impact of the elasticity is no joke. The side of my lips has suffered a lot of red stinging bruises from the slips😂
His content helps a lot bc I’m finna get braces

You should do braces colors based off the dream SMP members

Mom? Can we get The Bentist?
No we have the Bentist at home.
The Bentist at home:
That’s what I do when I lose my tweezers!
ew why she did her face like that I can’t😭😂.
This video saved my life ❤❤❤
I came here as soon as I was done eating bcuz i clearly forgot how to put it back on TYSM!!!
Lol..how can you hold the rubber band without two fingers? I need my thumb and index finger. YES, a thumb IS a finger too. 😂
I’ve been putting rubber bands the wrong way haha
I literally just got told I don't have to use them anymore but this would have been so handy
That’s exactly where I put my elastics ahhha
I NEEDED THIS 3 WEEKS AGO
Perfect timing!
My ortho told me, she will give me elastics in my next appointment (I'm 2 months in my braces journey)
How has it been so far?
@@myst1c.3nigm4tic hey! I've got my braces removed on december, I'm on retainers now :D
i thought you said racist hack in the beginning
Simple tip: use the hook that’s given to you
Ty this helped sop much
Thank you I was so confused
Yeah I learned this the hard way😂😂
my rubber bands are literally the tightest things ever it’s so hard to stretch them
lol they are so easy to put on now I can put them in so fast
Should have told me before i accidentally made it flew across the room almost hitting the dentist-
This definitely helped
i just got braces yesterday so this is great timing!
ahh the devil bands I literally hate them
I have been doing that since I got my elastics😂
Omg the Dustin braces those are going to be my first braces colors
Omg I just got my rubber bands on today(I get my braces off in April) and they are the biggest PAIN to put on so tysmmm I rlly needed this lmaooo
I just got them on Thursday and get them off around February
Wait you guys got colored bands
Thank you so much! I’m 15 and I was struggling to find the second spot to put the rubber band on my braces so this helped me a lot
Im getting my braces on tomorrow so great to know
We can all agree he never disappoints us with his content
Thanks!!
@@TheBracesGuyOfficial np
Don’t use 2 fingers…
Proceeds to use thumb and index 😅
R.I.p to the girl who got hit with the rubber band💀
Thank you!
I have a question is braces or Invisalign better or does it depend
I use two fingers to put in my rubber bands, works perfectly and quickly
Wait but the bentist said never but the rubber bands criss cross. One is now confused
My friend used something that looked like a crochet needle or those things from rubber band bracelet sets💀
Or use the tool that's given with the rubber bands, it's a life saver!
I just got rubber bands and just COULDN'T GET THEM ON! Then I remembered I saw this guy on TH-cam before and looked it up. Got it on instantly after! Thank you so much!!
Don’t need two fingers to fire those across the room just move your mouth wrong. My poor brother got nailed in the head my mine😂😂
i use the first way whenever i get my nails done, because it’s hard to do the second way. although i do the second way when i don’t have long nails
thanks lol you reminded me to put them on
I had these on for a month and I never got used to putting them on even though I constantly wore them (apart from eating obviously) 😂
does baking soda and lemon whiten your teeth?
I just got them today and I was stressing trying to put these in. But the video worked! I also got that tool to help so I have to try using that as well
That’s what i did when i had braces. i have my retainer now
My little sister just has our mom put them on for her 💀
thank you so much
Dose it hurt when you get bases?
Wait the come with color!?, I have boring clear bands ;-; MY LIFES BEEN A LIE
I like to use my crochet hook😂
Love it 😊
I use the hook they give you at the orthodontist.
I was given a pink stick thing to help me put it on, but I cant for the life of my figure out how to use them so Im just using my hands 😂
A couple days ago I JUST got my rubber bands and the first time I tried to put them on I gave up and the next day I tried it again and it took my like 5 minutes to get them on and now I just use 2 fingers and it’s so easy now I get it on the first time, I got a weird wire that has the top hooks by my K-9s (It’s just a hook both sides), so I have long nails not too long so I put the rubber band on my thumb and index finger and have my nails under the bottom bracket hook and have my index finger on the top hook, and make the rubber band slide of so it won’t fly everywhere.

7 months with my braces and have yet to get bands
do they not give applicators for bands anymore?
Owww im getting these soon
I could never put my bands on with my fingers, too slimy in there. So I bought a rubber band hook off of Amazon. They work much better and less frustrating.
How did you get your teeth that white? Every time, if I use my toothpaste, it doesn’t do anything it just cleans it not whiten it and it says it whitens too. How did you get that good teeth?
Please answer this question why did my orthodontist put one brace in the back
wait, if you have braces do you always need bands? or is that only when fixing the alignment
But how do u know where u need to put the rubber bands
thank you so much i waa using 2 hands literally got my mum to help and we both got annoyed at eachother lol saw this video did it in 5 seconds both sides lol
Is there clear ones ?
My orthodontist only has beige bands!
How do you do it with long nails????

Really really dumb question:
Do I need to wash my retainers and if so how?
( I'm not in braces yet but I wanna be prepared. Sorry of this is dumb)
Of course!! They can (and will) get dirty. Just not like teeth because you'll have to take them off to eat or drink anything that's not cold water.

not with long nails lol good thing I found disposable hooks on Amazon
Can u do a video on the difference bw Invisalign and braces? Also y do people use rubber bands?
Rubber bands help with a overbite
To pull the upper & lower teeth to align better for a healthy biting motion.
My orthodontists told me from back to the front but I might tried this and see if its easier. I don't use this method. I'll try this in the morning and its night in the uk.
I have been doing this the hole time
my ortho never gave me rubber bands😭
Hi I am wondering do you always have to wear rubber bands when you get braces my daughter was wondering
I keep putting my rubber bands on but every time they make this annoying squeaking noise, how do i stop this?
Just got these tomorrow let’s just say I’m sitting in bed thinking why
How do u know if u need braces?
When your jaw or bites is bothering you. Or if you want to go through cosmetic procedure for the sake of aesthetic teeth when smiling. For me, it's both.
Now do the triangular band 😢
i have something like this, but not braces. i have to long brackets on either side of my top teeth covering three teeth. then i have a button/hook on one of my teeth on either side of my bottom teeth. i attach rubber bands to the button in the bottom, then up to the front hook of the brackets. i wear a retainer on my bottom teeth with a carve out so it goes over my buttons. it’s to fix an overbite.
Hey uh can u use regular rubber bands that go in ur hair for them
Can u try a cake pop to see if it will break the braces
I have invisalign and I have to wear bands from maxillary first premolars (precision cuts) to mandibular second molars (buttons). It's almost impossible for me to put them using my fingers, so I use some dental floss. First, I pass the floss through the band, then place the band on the button, pull the floss until the rubber gets close to the cut and finally hook it.
