Elastics

Elastics are a vital part of treatment and are also contingent upon patient compliance. They add extra pressure to the braces to help move the teeth. Generally worn at all times even when sleeping (excluding eating and brushing your teeth), elastics should be changed at least once twice daily. It is important to wear them consistently or treatment will not progress. They come in various sizes as they are each used for a specific purpose. We will provide you with the appropriate size.
