July 16th, 2012
Orthodontic elastics are always a very important part of your orthodontic treatment if Brooklin Invisalign dentist Dr. Nikolovski recommends them during your orthodontic care. As with anything else when wearing braces in Whitby, Ontario it is very important that you follow elastic wear instructions during treatment.
Elastics during your orthodontic treatment in Ajax Ontario can help to align your bite or can help push your teeth around to line up properly. Specific instructions will be given during your orthodontic care on how to place elastics and in what direction Dr. John Nikolovski will want your elastics placed.
Proper elastic wear can make orthodontic treatment in Whitby, Ontario shorter if worn properly and for the right amount of time.
ALways remember the following rules with elastic wear. First you won’t be able to open your mouth fully, so your elastics can be removed during meal time. Other times, your Brooklin Orthodontist Dr. John Nikolovski may recommend your elastics to only be worn at night time when a small shifting is needed to correct your bite. Always be careful with your rubber bands as they can snap if you open your mouth too wide!!
If elastics are not worn when asked, it can prolong treatment time and it may make it more difficult to get a good bite, so always do your best to wear them, to allow you to obtain that beautiful new smile.
