I had been wearing elastics for about 7 months now. I was quite surprised & pumped when yesterday at my appoitment my ortho said no elastics for 2 months! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! and 1 more time, yeahhhhhhhhhh!

Awesome!

I just started wearing elastics about 1 and a half months ago I believe.
Everyone told me that it would be horrible, etc etc
I actually love it. It's my newest infatuation and my tongues playmate, especially when I get nervous

What was it like wearing it for 7 months?

Did you notice big changes? (I'm hoping it does great things for my overbite)

Yes, huge changes pretty fast, they closed in my bite pretty dramatically. I got so used to them that I didn't even realize I was wearing them. I'll prolly have to go back in them in 2 months.

That's great. I'll be wearing them eventually, too.

AWESOME Micheal!!! This gives me hope!! I wonder if after I wear them and I'm told I can stop doing so if I'll still wear them to bed at night, just for the heck of it

Nah, it's probably not wise to go against the rules since they have it all planned out for us!!

Great News Michael!!
I asked at my adjustment yesterday and was told that yes I would have to have them, but not until later on in treatment.

I loved having elastics, too! Once you get used to them they're just something to play with when you're bored.
