Teeth Bands Versus Invisalign for Gap Between Front Teeth?

People can self administer anything they want, but it is considered unsafe for dentists to use teeth bands. Unsupervised use has lead to loss of teeth, as the bands often migrate down the roots of teeth. Patients are often blissfully unaware until too late, and any savings in money is negated as the expense to replace teeth is much higher.

Dentists using these are often inexperienced and are unaware of the risks. I would strongly advise against it.

Invisalign will efficiently
and effectively correct a gap between your front teeth. The bands will not- it only tips the teeth and does not move the root, which is an unstable movement. 

Why don't you take out your own kidneys as well?

Self administered health care should be limited to trimming toe and finger nails!

Anyway elastic bands to close gaps?

Ask yourself this question; if the elasticky band can bring 2 front teeth together, then you end up with a space on either side of the front teeth; what will you do with these? maybe use longer elastics for the new spaces?

Eventually you will run out of elastics and the front space will have been transferred to the sides.

You get 1 set of adult teeth, so look after them, and treat them right with p[roper orthodontics..............and not veneers!
