Elastics
What do they do?
They help move the upper and lower teeth into an ideal bite.
How do they work?
The stretch of the elastic material generates a force to pull the upper and lower teeth towards each other into an ideal occlusion.
When do I wear them?
All the time except when brushing your teeth.
How often do I change them?
Once per day – preferably at bed time.
What if an elastic breaks?
You will need to replace it immediately. It’s a good idea to keep a packet of elastics with you all the time.
What if the hook on the brace for the elastic breaks?
