Open Bite dilemma - elastics or TADs

If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.

Open Bite dilemma - elastics or TADs

#1 Post by Dani1983 »

I'm posting here to see how retention is going for those of you who may have used elastics to close an anterior open bite. I originally decided to go with TADs but if I can get the same results 6 months quicker (and cheaper) than TADs, I'm going for it. My ortho says the results will really depend on my teeth (of course) so he can't tell me which would be best but I want to hear what others have experienced. In short, if I choose elastics...will it last?

Thanks guys!
