Well when you are assigned to wear the elastics there are several reasons. The main reason is that, your orthodontics wants the elastics to force the teeth closer together, you may have gaps that need to be fixed. The elastics make this process fast if you remember to wear them. Also remember that their are different types of elastics, everyone is different and may need different kinds for different problems. Don't forget to wear them!
