Orthodontists help! Will using 2 rubber bands makes my braces move faster?

I have braces and I was told by my orthodontist to used rubber bands to straighten my teeth. If I were to double up each one and have 2 on each side instead of one would this make my teeth move faster or just mess things up. If there are any orthodonists out there or people who know the answer to this plz help.

Do NOT use two rubber bands on each side. It could totally mess up your mouth. Not a good idea. Your orthodontist knows what he is doing. If you try doing anything on your own it will create a mess that will take LONGER to fix.
Reply:Idk i'm not an orthodontist, ask yours
Reply:i think it would just mess it up because they estimate how far your teeth would move if u use just one rubber band but if u use two it would make them move faster and they might move too far. plus they move good enough if u wear them for a long period of time.
Reply:HELLO,


I DID THIS WHEN I HAD BRACES IN COLLEGE.


THE EXTRA PRESSURE WAS A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE AT FIRST, BUT I QUICKLY BECAME ADJUSTED TO THIS.


THE TEETH DID MORE FASTER THAN THAN JUST 1 SET.
Reply:well i think you should not try using or doing something from your side without getting your orthodontists concern, orthodontic treatment is always dependent on amount and direction of application of forces and your orhodontist knows what is good and appropriate for you as application of excessive force can lead to deleterious effect rather than beneficial .
