Does everyone with braces get rubber bands?

Every case is different depending on the severity of the case. Rubber bands are used to rotate teeth and "power chains" are used to bring the teeth together. You may not need to use rubber bands if your case is minor.
Rubber bands are used to accomplish specific tooth movements. In many cases, they are not necessary.
The answer to that is no. The rubbber bands are used to aid in the movement of teeth if needed.
Most of the time. Braces align your teeth, and rubber bands help to bring your upper and lower teeth in place for a good bite.
