  • I whs geting braecs but I fell it harts

  • if the gap keeps on coming back after you take it off does that mean you have to wear it FOREVER ? wtffffff -_______-

  • hey....hun. NICE TO C THIS VIDEO....I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO TRY THIS OUT...I HAVE LOTS OF GAPS IN BETWEEN MY TEETH....HUN, CAN U FIND OUT LIKE HOW MUCH IT WILL COME IF I ORDER FROM INDIA...:(

  • Comment removed

  • U can actually close your gap for $5 instead!

  • i bought some product called ortho flexbands and it worked great, much better than others

  • The reason the gap comes back is because the rubber bands pull your teeth too fast. If you take your time and let the gap close more slowly, you will be better off in the long run. I was checking out Ortho Flexbands, and their system takes 90 days. I would rather take 90 days if it means the gap isn't going to come back. Check them out.

  • so how many months after the gap close did you wear them to keep your gap permanently closed?

  • So once your gap is gone you still hve to wear the rubber band forever? Please reply thanks

  • try ortho flexbands, the product is much better and seems more real

  • i didnt wear mine for a week yet and my qap closed ... and everybodi keeps tellinq me if i wear them too lonq my teeth are qunna shiftt ..how lonq should i wear them ? --- P.s Everytime i take them off my gap slowly comes backk ... soo yeaa ..

  • did it create new gaps? I was wondering since I have a gap in between front teeth like u did?

  • How are your teeth now? Has the gap grew back?

  • Where can you get it?

  • hey do you still wear them and if no does your gap ever grow back ?

  • LOL luv ur attitude through the whole video! I hav a 3mm gap n baby gaps around them still skeptical but ima keep doin research can u notify us if any unsual irregular activity happens?

  • @CHARCHICHI you dont even need ortho fill!! go to the dollar store and buy the rubber band hair tie things they work the same! except it takes a shorter time. because there bigger and thicker!

  • Your smile looks pretty much the same... Yea there's no gap but your smile wasn't bad with the gap in the first place.

  • do you think it is a good idea to use orthofill if your 15 but will be 16 in 4 months? I got them in the mail today and I put them on but I am having second thoughts on wearing them. my wisdom teeth have not co e into place yet and they probably won't for a while. any advice?

  • How much do they cost ?

  • @DajanaeM Orthofill is now having a limited offer which is $27.00 USD each package plus $7.00 USD shipping fee for a total of $34.00 USD. Free Shipping on orders of 2 or more packages. Our payment processor is paypal.

  • @OfficialOrthofill THAT IS TOO MUCH! GO AWAY! Don't buy from Orthofill, everyone. You can get these same bands from Ebay or Amazon for less than $5.00. Just do a search for 3/16" Extra Heavy orthodontic bands.

  • Will it screw up you teeth placement, I asked my dentist and he said it would screw up the alignment of my teeth (like in a negative way)

  • @backtodecember13 umm hey u said that the gap can come back? How does it come back like if u dont wear it for a month or so and how long did u wear ur bands, thanks

  • either that or go to mexico

  • wow $30 i can get a rubber band for 5 cents

  • @karisbatalion lmao!! i agree

  • I had a similar issue with gaps in my teeth and I went on Invisalign, you can't even see my braces and I take them off only when I eat. I think if you go that route you'll be even MORE happier than your results now as it will be able to rotate and do more complex shifting of your teeth for an overall better smile for you. :)

  • QUESTION: did you have to wear a retainer or are your teeth just completely straight now with no hassle?

  • hey i was wondering if these bands caused your teeth any pain, damage or any sensation at all after a year?

  • @Urbanboooy The Orthofill Bands are FDA approved and have been specifically developed in dental laboratories by orthodontic professionals to provide an adapted solution targeted only for gapped teeth. If you use Orthofill as directed they will not weaken or damage your teeth and are safe.

  • This was a helpful video. (: I have a little gap in the middle of my teeth too that really bother me.

    I just really want to know, on a scale of 1-10 how bad did this hurt? (10 being the worst)

  • My friend used a ruber band and left it on after because it kept going back into gap formm so now her teeth crossed over

  • What's up with the tracking number? I sent for it and there's no tracking number

  • @troubleshooter6844 You may contact the customer service via live chat or email to trace your order.

  • you said you dont wear them no more? Has the gap come back??????

  • Exactly.....How much pain are we talking about?

  • @backtodecember13 missspelled:p

  • @backtodember13 could you help me with some questions I asked previously please :D thanks

  • Are your teeth sensitive after you take of the orthofill? I've been wearing mine for 3 days all day and about 4 days just the evening and every time i take them off they are sensitive for what seems to be up to about 6 hours .. Will my teeth get used to it sometime and be strong when I take it out one day?!

  • Can I play rugby, wear a gum guard/ shield as my teeth are going through this?

  • @Izaak247 not sure

  • Im using a homemade alternative which is basically a plastic band which I tighten up.. It's fucking kills but seems to be working

  • @Izaak247 I can't really say anything about a homemade alternative, sorry

  • I really don't want to get my hopes up. I think mine is too big for this product. It would be a godsend if I could use it cause I can't afford invisalign and I don't want braces. I know the site said your gap had to be 3.5mm or smaller. Actually kinda scared to measure it maybe too big :( But I really want it gone has had a horrible impact on my life since I was a teenager.

  • Is it ok to keep it in when your teeth hurt because of wearing it?

  • do you still have to wear them? since its a year now? @ backtodecember13

  • @sheba91able nope

  • @backtodecember13 How long does it take for the orthofill to ship to you?

  • @iGreatOne15 We ship via Canadal Postal Service. In Canada and U.S. it would take 7 to 10 working days.

    In case you are ordering from a foreign country:

    Europe: 14 business days

    Africa: 14-20 business days

    Asia: 14-20 business days

    FPO address: 30 business days

  • @iGreatOne15 You can order online. It will be shipped worldwide via Canada Postal Service, shipping fee will be $7.00 USD.

  • @backtodecember13 so your gap is gone for good?!

  • @backtodecember13 and is the gap not coming back?

  • @backtodecember13 im 15 years old and my i cant afford braces right now. will this be safe to use at my age?

    

  • @backtodecember13 Did you have to get metal wires on the back of your teeth to keep them closed permanently?

  • @backtodecember13 so then now its closed for good ?

  • did they make your gums bleed

  • I'm such a retard why have I not thought of this!!

  • did the gap grew back?

  • Omg wow you looked so pretty even with the gap tooth i have a gap and i hate mine but you can pull yours off, how much does the wire behind your teeth cost im thinking of getting one.

  • does this relly work befor i buy it

  • These Orthofill bands are supposed to be used for a month after the gap closes to ensure that it stays closed. I would not recommend a hair tie in your teeth because the rubber used to make those rubber bands is nowhere near the same as Orthofill. Orthofill bands are made from resin and they don't break. There is a major difference in rubber bands and Orthofill bands. I gave it a try...this is my second week.

  • hi where did you order your bands?

  • Go to ORA-BAND.com and get 400 Clear Orthodontic Elastic Bands to close the gaps between your teeth. ORA-BANDs come in 2 sizes - Narrow for your Central Incisors (middle teeth) and Wide for your Lateral Incisors (side teeth). Each order comes with 100 Closing Bands and 300 Retaining Bands. Closing Bands have the strength go close the gap. Retaining Bands keep the teeth together until the position change is permanent. Only $19.95. Free shipping. No tax.

  • does it create other gaps around your teeth after you close it?? like if you have a gap in the middle of ur teeth and u close it, wud there be 2 caps beside ur closed gap?

  • i have 3 gaps in my front top teeth, one in between and two on both sides of front teeth, if i use that will it get rid of all of them or just the two front teeth?

  • k so are these a scam? cause people are saying they order them then never recive them. & why doesnt the phone number work?

  • If you move the two front teeth closer, wont that end up making gaps from the side of the two front teeth because of all the extra space??

  • I'm using the orthofill right now. I've been using it for about 6 days, and the gap is like 70% gone. Their website says you can take it off after a MINIMUM of 12 hours a day. But you can wear it longer, or even all day and all night if you want to. So I wear it 24 hours a day. I just change to a new band every day. I wear it in 2 places. One around my 2 front teeth where the gap is, and another around my 4 front teeth, to prevent new spaces. I also double the band around my 2 front teeth.

  • It wouldn't work for me. I have a gap in between everyone of my top front teeth, therefore, I need braces. But good luck with keeping in together.

  • Hey, i doubt you'll respond to this, but I just got my bands, and i have some questions that have so far been unanswered! :( so when you get this can you inbox me and help me out?

  • @Shalalee12 how did you like the bands? did it work for you?

  • Can yu like,Wear them for more than a month?Even though yur gap has already closed?For how long can yu waer them,cuz yu say that they come back,so can yu like wear them forever?Please answer!

  • ur hair grew really fast!

  • @marianne2229 ikr!

  • What u ppl need to understand is yes ur gap will come baack If u don't continue to wear them months after the gap closing. That's the same braces are if u have or had brace ur know that u are to wear ur retainer forever the dentist recommends !

  • But if the gap grows back, what's the point of wearing those rubber bands? That's what I do not understand at all...

  • @kristene0enetsirk Do you not have a gap? Wearing these bands, gives me straight teeth, which is all I want, and if I have to wear a tiny piece of rubber around them, that's less of a hassle than braces, then that's fine by me. Without them, my self esteem goes way down, and I hate to smile. Understand now?

  • @backtodecember13 yes, i understand completely.. but i would THINK that with the bands on your teeth it would make you talk funny/weird and stuff...is that true?? i have a small gap and wore bands that made me talk weird, and it did close the gap but when i took them off the gap would come back

  • Comment removed

  • do you have to wear it everyday ? if you do nd you forget does it come back ?? because i have one but i love it at days nd other days i hate it . so yea just please comment i would love to know :)

  • so basically you have to continue to use them because your gap will grow back out how it used to be right? :/ grrr, well you have a great smile either way :) thanks for the vid!

  • I USED THESE N YEA THEY DID CLOSE MY GAP IN THE FRONT BUT IT CREATED GAPS ON THE SIDES SO NOW I HAVE 2 SMALLER GAPS ON THE SIDE SO NOW IM USING THE BANDS TO CLOSE THE GAPS ON THE SIDES SEEMS TO BE WORKIN SO FAR AND ANOTHER THING IN MY OPION IF U DECIDE TO USE THESE AFTER U CLOSE UR GAP I WOULD RECOMMEND GETTING A RETAINER BECAUSE HAVING TO WEAR THE BANDS 24/7 SOMETIMES IS A BOTHER N IF U TAKE THEM OFF UR GAP WILL GROW BACK TO NORMAL IN A DAY N ITS HURTS EVERYTIME U HAVE TO CLOSE IT AGAIN

  • sponsered video

  • @sophialaw09 uhm but not actually....i wish.

  • Will the orthofill push my teeth back a little as well as closing a smallish gap? My two front teeth stick out very slightly and I was wondering if yours did at all because ur teeth look so great in the last few pictures I would love to have teeth like urs! My parents think orthofill is fake, how can I persuade them that it's good??

  • @xXxMcAngelxXx my teeth also stick out a little unfortunatly, I guess they don't look like that in the pictures. The only thing the bands really do is close the gap, nothing else. Let your parents watch the video, show them all the FAQ in the info, show them the website and the testimonies, and it's worth a try if you just want to close your gap. its better than nothing :) good luck!

  • MY Gap closed the first night i love!!!!!!!!!! orthofill

  • so pweeetyyy!!!!

  • hi. when you emailed orthofill for a new pack of orthobands, what exactly did you say because they arent responding back :(.thankyou.

  • @pchokry I just told them that my gap wasn't staying, just keep checking your email and your junk mail too, just in case it slipped in there.

  • It really works? I hate my gap, ): should I really buy these?

  • @littleyellowumbrella I would say go for it, nothing to loose...except your gap :)

  • @littleyellowumbrella Yes they work. Check out my videos. My gap is MUCH bigger than hers in this video and now my gap is completely gone! It worked amazingly for me. If you like my vids, then subscribe. I will do a product review on a retainer now that I have my gap fixed.

  • you look beautiful just the way you are. besides it's barely noticeable

  • Hey everyone. I actually used something like this 24/7 for 7 years. I started in middle school and didn't quit til college. Unfortunately the gap always comes back. I actually took it out because I was so tired of messing with it and my two front teeth were more loose than my others and they do slant out a little bit now. Now finally at 22 years old I'm getting braced in a few weeks. It's only 139 a month so it's not bad. But I don't feel like I have any major damage to my teeth from these. I o

  • @sweetpimpin23 Yeah,unfortunatly I went to the dentist the other day, I'll be getting braces, which in college, I really didn't want.The good thing is as long as I wore the bands, there was no gap. but the same thing happened to me, they're kind of loose, and slanted a little so getting a wire for the back wont happen :(

  • Hi sweetie, I want to thank you and tell you that I used the bands and they closed my gap between the first 2 teeth. I love my smile a bit more. I do have open spaces on both sides next to the two teeths. How did you put the bands to close those spaces? Let me know please. Take care till later

  • Question:

    Who gives a @#&%

  • OMG I'm so gonna get that O.O

  • Your gap is NOTHING compared to mine!!! yours looks fine, honest! you shouldn't have gone wasting ur money on rubber bands.. JS<3 ;)

  • so do you have to wear it all your life

  • well i didnt have the money for orafill, and this will sound crazy, but i just used those tiny rubber bands you tie to the ends of like pig tales and so far i have pretty much the exact same effects:sore alittle but it goes away, gap closes but comes back, yadda yadda. SO SAVE YOUR 30 BUCKS!!!!! go to sallys or walmart and just buy some tiny hair ties, double them, and you can put them in the middle of your teeth easier.100 pack costs like 99 cents.same results.

  • were ur teeth lose ?

  • do you still have to wear them everyday ? like does it grow back ?

  • Did you ever end up getting a rim on the back of your teeth?

  • I'm curious to know what happenned to the skin in between your teeth. did it get smaller ?

  • can you put them on your four front teeth too?

  • wow cool story!, but when you take them off will the gap come back? after sometime?

  • I've wore them for 3 weeks now and the first two weeks it sucked. I wore them for about 18 hrs throughout the day but after the second week I started doubling the rubberband and i saw much better improvement. plus there is almost no pain at all now and the gap is almost fully closed.

  • great effort to make this video...thanks it was great watching ur teeth getting closer :)

  • did your bands push your gums up? i just wore mines for the first day today and it seems to be pushing my gums up and it looks weird...also with the band being all up in your gum. is that normal? or what do you suggest like, should i leave it up there in my gums? which meaning that i wont be able to have them on overnight since they tend to slide up all the time right. will anythig serious happen if i left them overnight pushing up on my gum?

  • Did your gums bleed when you put them on the first time? help please! I dont know if I should continue wearing them

  • @authenticsarina no they didn't, that's really odd if yours did. how bad was it? I would wait it out to see if it happens a few more times.

  • @backtodecember13 pretty bad, the band was almost inside my gums (pretty gross) so i never used it again. It caused some damage to the back of my gums for a few days too...

  • @authenticsarina mine did, because i have sensitive gums

  • @JADIECA2003 ohh, so did you continue using the product?

  • @authenticsarina yes, it hasn't bled since then but i think it will cuz these things ride in ur gums like crazy but give it a break if u need 2....

  • @authenticsarina If you usually don't floss your gums may bleed.

  • can u eat with it or do u hav to tak it out then eat then put it back in cuz im bouta get it my gaps nt big but still plus im 13 nd i wanna get girls u kno lmao

  • @2011thedyt

    hahah it says you cant use it if you're 15 or younger, but since I KNO you're trynna get the ladies I'd say go for it

  • once u wear the orthofill bands and the gap closesit grows back right, well when will the gap close permenantely?

    ps. u looked preety on ur prom pic

  • @Fa2luvzDrake49528 thanks :) and the gap should normally close permenantely but for me it didn't so im not sure.

  • @backtodecember13 In the instruction booklet they send you, it says you're suppose to wear them 24/7 for a month after the gap is closed in order to make it permanent... they say it's the most important part and a lot of people tend to ignore that detail....

  • @ChronicFatigueSyn How long did you wear them for? And how often?

  • I used orthofill bands as well, but you have been using yours a bit longer than i have. Did the gaps on the side close while you were wearing them.

    && have you considered a permeant retainer to keep them closed. thats what i plan to do once i receive my next order of bands?

  • @LouPearlFlawless nope they're still there,, just small, and I have actually, I'll be getting one this summer :)

  • Did you find the gaps at the side closed or did they stay?

  • @charmedjames They stayed :( But they're not big at all

  • omg this chick is a dumb ass seriously i am useing orthofill and she is doing it all wrong badly the whole idea is to pull them together slowly! NEVER overlap them and yes it will move back thro the day but as u keep wearing them over the weeks they wont go back when u take them off so dont listen to this girl she did it all wrong now her teeth will rely on these bands

  • ive heard that doing this can make your teeth "slant" or overlap

    did you have any of that?

    are your results starting to become more permenent? or are you still wearing them everyday?

  • @iloveredbull09 no overlap, and only a little bit of slanting, but it's not noticable. And as for my teeth becoming perm., well not really, the gap grows back now after about a day and a half. it might take a few days for it to grow back 100%, so I'm still wearing them every day.

  • can you eat with them on?

  • @BuLLeTx87 I do, unless I'm eating foods that can stain the white band to an ugly colour.

  • my teeth are gapped not the 2 front ones but the ones next to them... can u still use orthofill for that? and do u still have to wear them after the gap is closed?

  • @CH4EVER yes u wear them 24hours for a month once its closed

  • Regarding my last comment: Don't worry about answering that - I just saw your other post about how it came back.

  • It took 3 weeks for my gap to close. I had the band on for 15 days after before I started putting the band around all 4 of my front teeth to close the gaps. Worked really well but, it has almost been 1 month for my front teeth & the other day I had to take it off for a little while (not very long) I noticed them coming apart very slightly & barely noticeable. Just wondering if that has happened to you? Does it go any further? Have they come further apart & you have had to put your band back on?

  • How long did it take to close completely? Do you sitll use them even after it closes?

  • Comment removed

  • @Ricky127r I used too, now I don't really care :P

  • So my product arrived yesterday. Put it on last night took it off after 12 hours this morning. I noticed my gap decreased but heck when removing the band my teeth are hurting right now!!!. I know that's a good thing b/c they moved but holy crap!! it must suck wearing braces I've never worn them cause that would be multiple pain around your mouth! it only hurts on the two front teeth

  • @sweetbiella It's crazy eh? don't worry, they only hurt for a few days max, then I don't even notice them..

  • so how are your teeth now? are the permanently gap free now? yur teeth look great btw !

  • @shorinryu123 thanks a lot! unfortunatly I have to keep wearing the bands, my gap keeps growing back :( But I told this to Orthofill, and they sent me a free pack

  • Ummm you know you said you was going to get a metal wire thingy for the back of you're teeth? Did you get one in the end? im not sure if i missed you say it or something but what are they called? I got my orthofills and im currently trying to pull the new gaps that it made but the front one like.. during the day opends abit. :L its so funny. :L

  • @XzozoX123 Hey! uhm, so far, no wire, it's still to expensive for me, so I ended up emailing orthofill and told them how my gap grew back, they gave me a free pack of bands (since I was out) and told me to get a retainer. let me know how your gap closes

  • @backtodecember13 Ooooh okays, I hope they send me a new pack! That would be pretty cool. & Thanks! I did exactly what you did & took it out today for school and my gap was like HUGE back to the way i rememberd :( deeaaarrryyyy, D:

  • ok i have a gap in my front teeth & the teeth on both sides of them have gaps too so if i do get these could i put the bands around all 4 teeth?

  • @tabbyrenee17 the bands are only stretchable for two teeths in my opinion cause they tighten a lot on the two teeth. Honestly these bands are just little rubber bands. Paying 30 dollars was too pricy for just some rubber bands even if I noticed they work. You can call the company and ask them or just buy yourself a set of rubber bands that are strechable to four teeth

  • @sweetbiella thank you =)

  • So u buy a band that 30 dollars when u can use a rbber band like that for wayyy less. Actually right know I have a hair tie in my teeth so yes good night

  • @lilmamaluvin dont do that... these bands are specifically sized and stretched to give the perfect tension when ur teeth are contracting... if you use a rubber band it will pull them together alot faster and will damage your teeth. stop using the rubber bands you will ruin ur teeth only use the orthofill

  • Comment removed

  • @lilmamaluvin compare that price to the price you'd get for putting braces on your teeth? from thousands of dollars to $30, don't judge nor comment if you're that much of a hater, use your cheap stuff on your own teeth yes good night ^^

  • Based on the reviews it takes about 2 and half months to close. I ordered mine couple days ago can't wait for them to arrive!! I have a small gap not too big thankfully and hopefully I'm gonna close it :)

  • Nice =D

  • hey how long did it take to arrive to your mail and does it come in a package or envlope??? t

  • @jandplove it took about a week, give or take a few days, and it came in an envelope :)

  • OMG. Thank you soooo much <3

    Im getting them deffo!!

  • This video is really helpful to me!! But I was just wondering, my 2 front teeth have a gap between them but the 2 teeth either side of my front teeth are quite close to my front teeth and im worried that if I do use these orthofill things that they might leave a gap either side of my front teeth, should they do this ????

  • @Jacinamuldoon well for me, they left a gap...according to orthofill this isnt supposed to happen, but its something you should be aware of for sure!

  • @Jacinamuldoon I asked orthofill the same question and they emailed me back saying "If you use Orthofill as directed they will not weaken or damage your teeth and are absolutely safe. The motion of teeth is not linear, so no new gap should be created and hence the product has no side effects."

  • but u have been doing this all wrong if u would have followed the instructions they would have been gone

  • How much did they pay you to make this video?

  • @Pacman22Official nothing- I just decided to make it to advise other people.

  • OMG thank you so much for this before and after video. i am so convinced this product works now. they just earned a customer.

    so let me get this straight, you used the product as directed? and did your gap ever come back?
