Premium 1/4 inch Heavy 4.5 oz - Orthodontic Elastic Rubber Bands - 100 Pack - Clear Latex Free, Small, Braces, Dreadlocks Hair Braids, Tooth Gap, Packaging, Crafts, Sonic Dental Supply - Made in USA

I wish I had found out about, and used these sooner. I've wanted to fix my gap since I was 11. I started March 6, 2025, and I saw progress every week. After a month it was completed. It didn't hurt, it only ached a bit biting down on hard food. I take them off to eat, or they tend to break while chewing, of course. After 4 hrs it opens back up a bit, but closes back up quickly after replacing the elastic bands. It's a cheaper alternative to surgery, and braces. I'm used to them. May 6, 2025 I only use one on all four front teeth now; the other teeth moved into place on their own, no longer being pushed back. They no longer ache a bit biting down on hard food. They stay closed while the elastic is off while eating. I will continue to wear them, I'm not taking any chances, I love my new teeth.

Great

Bastante malos

I got 4.5 OZ 1/4" latex bands (photo left) from my orthodontics and just bught this clear one (photo right) as I'm running out. However, with exactly the same numbers, the clear one not only streches much less but also gives much more pressure. I'm going to buy the 3.5 OZ 5/16" clear ones as I'm writing this review now.

Buying anything online makes you skeptical I only had orthodontic gap bands once in a yellowish tent. They where great but eventually ran out and used small clear hair bands. Weren’t the same comfort and support. I preferred clear so I found these some comments would leave you a little worried. I got 1/4 size I was confused on what size I’d need. They are fine my gap is mid size I never had one b4 I had braces. So it kinda grows larger over time a tad larger could’ve been comfortable as well. I’d say the sizes help as your gap closes size down a bit. Very strong does slide up a little do to moisture but not bad at all or hard to adjust

I'd have to replace them like 3 times a day, if I ever opened my mouth just a tad too wide they would rip instantlyWhen I wore them overnight they would be broken when I woke up the next morningThe ones I got from my dentist were way more sturdy but I guess these will work in a pinch

I was given the Eagle brand of rubber bands by my orthodontist. As my bite has changed, I’ve been going through 3 rubber bands an hour. These are much more durable, but what most surprised me was how much more comfortable they are compared to the Eagle brand. They’re much softer on my tongue and I hardly notice it. Will be buying these for the duration of my orthodontic journey.

Worked great to rig fishing floats and yarn strike indicators. Clear to not spook fish. I was able to double these bands back to half size and they did not break.
