Teeth Gap
uses special Compressor bands called Teeth Gap to draw your teeth
together. They provide "the pull" necessary to move the teeth quickly, and
in the right direction. You stretch the teeth effect band when you put it
around your teeth. Since the band is stretched out it pulls the teeth
towards one another because it wants to contract.
