They do open new gaps, but you just add more bands in a different place, the same as the dentist does when they tighten etc. I was very disbelieving, but ive been using them for 6 days now and im already seeing them move. Some of us do not have the money to spend on braces, for me i was told it was going to be between £2,500 and £3,000, the bands cost £15.herbalhildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305160717015529479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-45078711346223109372012-05-20T03:23:47.394-07:002012-05-20T03:23:47.394-07:00Dreaded- I thought that line was classic.

Considering that I've mocked Audi and Lexus repeatedly at this site, it just makes perfect sense that the business I'd ultimately try to "shake down" would be the one that peddles $20 rubber bands for your teeth, doesn't it?John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-88237700638733978782012-05-20T03:21:18.950-07:002012-05-20T03:21:18.950-07:00It's not hard to find negative reviews, just d...It's not hard to find negative reviews, just do a quick Google search. Most common complaints: gaps filled by these bands return if you don't keep using them, new gaps are created as old ones are filled (this just seems logical to me,) and long-term problems may develop from regular usage.

What's your point?<br /><br />"We could not stay in business if the product did not work as advertised."<br /><br />Almost too funny for words. You guys are a riot. If this claim were true, that would mean the following products, still offered for sale, work as advertised: Eagle Eye "4D" Sunglasses, Sham Wows, Instant Gardens, TaxMasters Credit Counseling, Tronix Country, etc. etc. etc. Please.<br /><br />"We are in business because the product WORKS."<br /><br />If you say so. I'll believe it when it drives oral surgeons out of business.<br /><br />"Believe it or not, there are plenty of companies left in the world that operate with integrity."<br /><br />Stop trying to change the subject. I thought we were talking about ORA-BAND, LLC.<br /><br />Anyway, all I did was mock your stupid commercial. If your product DOES work, more power to you- though I wonder why you'd sell it at such a rock-bottom price, using late-night tv commercials on channels nobody watches, instead of, oh, I don't know, medical supply stores. I guess you have your reasons.<br /><br />Thanks for your input, though. Much appreciated.

One young man even put the camera in his mouth and gave updates every few days to show it working. <br /> <br />Every once in a while someone who had braces years ago posts an uninformed opinion like this to the ORA-BAND YouTube video. <br /><br />We have real customer video reviews on our website and we are constantly in contact with customers on our Facebook account. These customers are REAL. Additionally, they are REALLY satisfied with the results. <br /><br />The belief that a minor tooth movement like closing a gap between someone's teeth must require THOUSANDS of dollars is cemented in people's minds. From the outset we have encouraged customers to share the process on video to dissuade that misguided belief. <br /><br />We also have a 30 day money back guarantee to back up our promotion. <br /><br />A company can not collect credit/debit card payments if they are constantly refunding money to customers because their product does not work as advertised. That company would lose the privilege of collecting payments online. There are many rules associated with collecting credit/debit payments. These rules are applied with particular tenacity to relatively new companies (we have been in operation since April, 2011). <br /><br />We could not stay in business if the product did not work as advertised. <br /><br />We are in business because the product WORKS.<br /><br />Believe it or not, there are plenty of companies left in the world that operate with integrity.<br /><br />Be well, <br /><br />ORA-BAND, LLCORA-BAND, LLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121718792513438923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-56001066447631824842012-05-18T08:05:12.792-07:002012-05-18T08:05:12.792-07:00The scary part is that I can think of people I kno...The scary part is that I can think of people I know who would probably buy this damned thing.DreadedCandiru2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15561460498807276057noreply@blogger.com
