Elastics
With braces or aligners
What does it do?
Help the teeth go in the right direction.
When to wear it?
As stated on your sheet: day and/or night.
Remember
- Wash your hands before putting them on or taking them off.
- Change them after every meal and at bedtime (about 4 times a day).
- No more elastics? Call us, we will give you more of the same strength.
Avoid
- Never double the elastics: too much force damages the roots of the teeth
The golden rule
Change them often: they wear out quickly.
