1. Keep wearing: You need to keep wearing a rubber band every day to keep the traction force stable and help the teeth shift. You just need to take off the rubber band when eating and brushing your teeth, but put it on immediately after brushing your teeth.
2. Pay attention to replacement: you need to replace the rubber band before going to bed every day to keep it clean and hygienic. If you don't insist on replacing it, it may affect the elasticity of the rubber band, and then affect the traction effect.
3. Keep clean: After each meal and brushing your teeth, you need to remove the rubber band, clean it and put it on again.
4. Avoid swallowing by mistake: Rubber bands are foreign objects, which may cause discomfort if swallowed by mistake. So be careful not to swallow when wearing a rubber band.
5. Timely adjustment: If the elastic band is found to be insufficient or the traction effect is not good, the elastic band should be adjusted or replaced in time.
6. Follow the doctor's advice: When wearing a rubber band, you need to follow the doctor's advice. If in doubt, please consult your doctor at any time.
