Why use intermaxillary elastic bands?

So, why should intermaxillary elastic bands be used? During the orthodontic treatment, the dentist utilizes brackets and archwires to apply force. Orthodontic elastic bands are used in conjunction with this system to generate additional combined force.

Over time, this entire set of appliances helps move the teeth into the desired positions and facilitates faster alignment. Therefore, orthodontic elastic bands not only speed up the movement of your teeth but also assist in aligning the upper and lower jaw teeth to achieve a better bite.
