Built by a Korean who had braces for a long time. Braces Bands is an app designed to help you build a healthy habit of wearing your orthodontic elastics (rubber bands). Track your wear time, set daily goals, and make consistent progress in your braces journey. ** Key Features - Wear Timer : Start or stop the timer with a single tap to easily log your wear time. - Wear Calendar : See your daily records at a glance and stay motivated. - Re-wear Reminder : Get notified if you forget to wear your bands for too long. - Goal & Reminder Settings : Customize your daily wear goal and re-wear alert interval. - Edit Wear Time : Forgot to start the timer? No problem—just tap the calendar to edit your wear time later. - Band Replacement Reminder : Set a replacement schedule—start date, interval, and alert times—to get notified and log each band change. - Aligner Mode : Track your Invisalign or clear aligner trays. Enter total and current tray numbers, see progress on your calendar. - Dental Appointment Reminder : Save your next visit and get alerted before you go. Appointment days are marked right on your calendar. - Visit Notes : Keep your dentist's instructions and band or wire changes as dated notes you can revisit anytime. - Teeth Photos : Snap or pick photos for any calendar date to track how your teeth change. Days with photos are marked right on your calendar. (Up to 3 per day) ** How to Use When you open the app, the timer starts in wearing mode. Tap the timer when you take off your bands—like during meals or brushing—to log non-wear time. Set your daily goal and reminder interval to stay on track. Forgot to use the timer? Edit your records anytime via the calendar. **Premium Features - Remove Ads : Enjoy the app without any ads. - Home Widget : Check your wear status right from your home screen. - Cloud Backup : Automatically back up your wear records, replacement records, goal/reminder settings, and teeth photos using your social login account, and restore them anytime by signing in with the same account on a new device. (Note: Restoring purchases and restoring cloud backups are different processes. Cloud backup restoration is done through your signed-in social account, while your Premium subscription must be purchased/restored separately on the store you're using.) **Subscription Notice Subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. Active subscriptions cannot be cancelled during the current billing period. Start tracking your wear time today, and build a healthy habit that sticks!
