Rip your kids' braces off for me?

03-29-2009, 10:08 PM

I'd be mighty grateful if someone could send me a little pink baggie of the dental rubber bands, please? I'd like to use them in place of these d@mnable twist-ties i get with every electric product with a cord.

Willing to pay if necessary, and your help is appreciated

Thanks in advance folks.

Purchase size #8 rubber bands from an Office Supply Store.

Just curious then - why not just order them? Quick Google search for small rubber bands brings up a lot of results for less than a 5th the cost of those.

Had no idea that they had a number for size

thanks. I asked because my ortho gave me tons of bags when I wore braces, not that I kept them; I figured someone had extras lying around they didn't need.

LAN Cabinet Velcro Ties are the best cords.

CVS sells Neoprene hair ties. Those work well for what you're doing.
