As a licensed dentist, I would like to remind everyone that DIY braces are very dangerous and can cause serious harm to your teeth and gums. Moving teeth safely requires proper examination, X-rays, and professional supervision.
Using improvised materials such as rubber bands, wires, or clips can lead to infection, gum damage, tooth loss, and permanent problems with your bite.
For your safety, please consult a licensed dentist or orthodontist if you are considering braces. There are safe and proper treatment options available. Your oral health is important—please avoid DIY dental procedures.
