What's your elastic configuration?

#1 Post by Angel21 »

I've been in elastics for so much of my treatment! Firstly to fix my overjet and close up extraction gaps, next was to fix my midline, then box elastics on both sides and a triangle! I'm still on the last 3 so in total some nights I'm wearing up to 4 elastics, and 3 24/7 wear. :cry:

What's your configuration? Or have you not needed to wear them at all? (lucky!)

Started with triangles on both sides at the first adjustment and had those for about 5 months. Then switched over to up & down molars in the back on both sides and have had those about 3 months. Can't wait for the day I wake up in the morning without a headache! I have to say. They work wonders though so it's worth it.

I have had my elastics for about 6 weeks. Both sides are in a class 2 configuration with the elastics being attached to upper 4 and lower 6. 24/7 wear.
