hello everyone...i am currently wearing rubber bands and have a gap. It seems that every time i go to bed my gap gets bigger...But slowly as the day goes on it goes back to normal...By the way it isn't closed all of the way yet.
Thanks
just a quick question

HI Secretagent,
I'm a little confused over your question, first how are you wearing your elastics? And are you using them to close a gap or open one? If you could please give us a little more info im sure someone will know the answers you need
best wishes

re
First of all your teeth look beautiful........ 
. It seems that your elastics are to close your bite and the chains to keep things togther.
I think i'm right about this, if anyone know differently please add in input

I agree your teeth look beautiful...how much longer do you have to go? Are you having problems opening your mouth and teeth to talk and chew? The bands look like they're clamping your teeth together pretty tightly!!! I can't think what they could be doing but I'm sure your ortho knows what he/she's doing!!
