According to your icons, you have only had your braces for 2 months and they are almost ready to be off by the end of the summer? Didn't you get a 12 month estimate?

Elastics dont necessarily mean the end of treatment. I had elastics early on and then again half way through!

I have been in elastics for almost a year now. So I would ask the ortho for an estimate.
