I recently learned about teeth effects bands. They say they can close a gap in my front teeth for $30.00. Do you know if this is for real?

Brandon,
I don’t recommend you do this. It is nothing more than a simple set of rubber bands that you put around your teeth. Though it will close the gap, it will do it by tipping your teeth together instead of sliding them together. This can permanently damage your teeth. I’m frustrated they are still getting away with this.
There are several options for closing a gap in your teeth. There are the traditional routes such as braces or Invisalign. You can also have a faster solution with dental bonding or porcelain veneers.
