Sorry, my question may be dumb. I know they correct your bite, etc. but what specifically can they do? Overbite? Cross bite? Correct midline? Close gaps? I'm just curious :o)

Elastics do all of the above...at least they did for me. Just in general tightening things and finishing it all up-they're good stuff
