Hi, I had my second adjustment today and the ortho tied a piece of elastic to each of the brackets on my lateral incisors and then secured this tightly to the archwire. These 2 teeth aren't attached to the archwire yet and he wants to pull them into the gaps created using the spring coils.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had experience with this as I've never heard of it before and I'm curious. All I know so far is that it hurts, I now have pushing and pulling pain!
