Can you re-use dental rubberbands??
Question: i just got rubberbands and i'm wondering if you have to throw the rubberbands away, or if you can re-use them.
Answers: You need to throw them away and use new ones everyday. They will get stretched out after awhile and they won't be as effective. I had to keep my braces on 6 months longer (when I was 18) than I was supposed to (meaning I had to have my senior pictures and go to prom with them on) because I didn't wear my rubber bands like I was told to.
What are you, broke? Don't re-use them, gross.
throw them away! thats gross!
if u need more, jus call and they will mail them to u free
You can reuse them, but you probably shouldn't for sanitary reasons.
Wouldn't be prudent. Especially if you just got back from Taco Bell.
I wear them now with my braces. You can not reuse them, its unsanitary. You have to take them out before you eat and brush everyday. They are too cheap and you can get them from you orthodontist to reuse them.
I wouldn't recommend it, I think they would be more likely to break and you might swallow them accidentally.
you can but theyre probably lost elasticity + NASTY
they loose there streatch so dont re use them
Don't re-use them. One, that's really nasty. And two, you lose a lot of the elastic properties needed to properly realign your jaw. So basically, naw.
You can't reuse them. The reason the orthodontist has you change them so often and gives you so many is they lose elasticity. After a couple of hours of wear, they don't generate the required force anymore. So keep them fresh by changing them often. On the same note, don't double or triple them up thinking that more force will get the job done quicker. It just doesn't work that way.
throw them away!! thats just gross!
Yes you can re - use them . But in ways it is gross .
no u have to get new ones if not it can cause infection if u have a cut in ur mouth. its best to not re use
