You should be careful doing things to your teeth. You could cause yourself more problems than you can deal with. Moving your teeth around even a little bit can cause unwanted problems. After you put the bands on, how will you get them off.
I had fake braces years ago, both the essix type and the hawley type.
I finally got real braces a couple years ago after my teeth had shifted a bit.
It is exciting to wear braces and other appliances. I had to get a bracket glued back on today. I asked my ortho if he would be willing to make me a set of clear retainers with braces on them. His response was very positive, and he is willing to do it as part of my treatment.
