Here are some tips for the proper care of your elastics:
It is your responsibility to change the elastics every day. This is very important as the rubber will lose its elasticity rapidly, resulting in inadequate force on your teeth.
You may remove your elastics while brushing your teeth after meals. Then put them back on immediately.
Keep extra elastics with you wherever you go so that if one breaks you can replace it right away.
As your supply gets low, call us so that you don’t experience a gap in treatment time.
If you find that your elastics are breaking frequently, call us, as we may need to make an adjustment to your braces.
It is important to remember the new Alpine™ Accurate, Interactive Bracket Mechanisms (active twin self-ligating braces) are ligature-free and do not need elastomers at all. In this way, the colour elastomers on the braces are used as a motivational tool. If a child is not brushing well the colours may be post-poned for one appointment to allow oral hygiene to improve. It usually does improve significantly.
