Rubber bands

[MlleMo]

Hi all, i'm currently on 21 of 25 U and 38 lower. I've had my orthodonist cut off half my tray to put in three buttons on the bottom and two metal button lingually on top and put an elastic band to correct my bite. My questions are
1. should i expect it to hurt so freaking much for the entire time i wear the elastics?
2. Is it bad to wear two bands at the same time?
3. Is a month (4 weeks) enough time to see considerable bite changes?
Thanks

Wearing the elastics all the time will hurt less than wearing them part time. This is because you are placing continuous force, rather than starting and stopping it, requiring mobilization of the teeth as you change the elastics.

It is possible to put too much force on the teeth, so I would keep to wht your orthodontist has prescribed.

You will likely feel some bite changes, and they can be considerable in a month if you've worn your elastics as directed. You will likely feel a difference earlier than you see one, noticing a change in your bite.

Hope this helps!
