In our clinic at mesa, we understand that patients have a lot of questions about their braces. One common question we get is: “What are the rubber bands on braces for?” The answer is that rubber bands play an essential role in helping to correct a patient’s bite.
When a patient has a bite problem, their teeth and jaw may not be properly aligned. This can cause issues with chewing, speech, and even breathing. By using rubber bands on braces, we can help to correct these issues and improve the overall function of the teeth and jaw.

Purpose of rubber bands on braces
The purpose of rubber bands on braces is to correct bite problems by applying pressure to the teeth and jaw. This pressure can help to shift the teeth into the correct position and align the jaw properly. Elastics for braces are used to correct:
- Underbites
- Overbites
- Crossbite
- Open Bite
- Crowding
- Spacing
The elastics for braces are available in different sizes and strengths, depending on the specific needs of each patient. Some patients may need to wear them for a few months, while others may need to wear them for a year or more. Your orthodontist will be able to determine the right type of rubber bands for your specific needs.
In conclusion, the purpose of rubber bands or elastic for braces is to correct bite problems and improve the overall function of the teeth and jaw.
