Elastics Q

#1 Post by ronnie889 »

I'm not on here to complain about the pain but I have a quick question:

After I took my elastics out to clean my teeth tonight, I noticed I guess cuts on my bottom gums from the rubber bands. Am I not wearing these correctly, this can't be normal. Does anyone have any tips?

I wouldn't suppose you could put a blob of wax between the gum and the elastic, could you ?
