My orthodontist has put some hook type of things on my top teeth and bottom teeth, in total there is 4 of them.
She didn't tell me specifically what they are but i'm unsure what they are for and I don't think they are for elastics?
Help?

By the way, they're the hooks pointing to the centre

Yep, elastics, no worries not as bad as you think, get used to yourself that way.

Yep elastics and they're not to bad. Got mine yesterday and have to wear them every night for approx 12 hours. I will get used to them and so will you when you have to, so dont worry

I hear that elastics give big, big results with the bite, and pretty quickly, too. I have hooked brackets and an overbite, so I think they're in my future, too!

Haha, elastics! Don't worry, as long as you don't try to shout with them in your mouth, you won't notice them much

Elastics, or powerchains. I have metal coil ones attached to those hooks.
