After my first adjustment, I noticed that the ortho crossed some of my o rings in my bracket. I didn't notice until I got home, and I'd rather not call just to ask that. Does any one know why they do this? There are only a few brackets that are x crOssed

Thanks!

I believe they are to pull brackets together? Like a power thread

In a figure 8 around one bracket? According to my ortho that helps with rotation or something.

It makes it a tigher connection between the bracket and the wire.
