What about the “Teeth Effects” bands to close a tooth gap?

Friday, May 16th, 2008

I have a small gap between my two front teeth. Recently I heard about the Teeth Effects band. Can I use this to help close my gap? What are the disadvantages of that band?

Mitch,
This Teeth Effects band is nothing more than a set of simple rubber bands that they want you to put around your two front teeth. And it is a very bad idea. It tips your teeth together, rather than make them slide together. And it can permanently damage your front teeth. I don’t know how they get away with promoting these without getting in trouble.
