Wearing elastics
You have been asked to wear some little elastic bands running between your upper and lower teeth.
For your treatment to continue successfully you should:
- Wear the elastics exactly as your orthodontist tells you to. ALL THE TIME MEANS ALL THE TIME except for tooth brushing. If you do not wear your elastics properly, treatment will take longer and the result will be poor.
- PUT ON NEW ELASTIC BANDS EVERY DAY. Replace any bands that are lost or broken. Always carry some spare elastics with you.
- Contact
the surgery if you run out of elastics.
