Ok, my ortho emailed me back. He said:

I positioned the brackets lower on your front teeth and higher on the
back teeth. I am using the front teeth to help intrude your back
teeth. This will begin to close your bite without the need for long
term use of elastics.


Pretty cool. lol Lessening time in elastics sounds good to me! haha
