Yes, if you get elastics that means that you either have an overbite or an underbite. They do hurt extremely bad and look horrible. When you first get them they will feel sore but you will barely notice them. However when you go to sleep they will sting. If you start to feel pain you should take an advil or Tylenol or other leading medicine. If you don't you will constantly be waking up late at night and will not be able to go back to sleep. The second day will be worse you will NOT be able to eat any food that you need to chew even if you take them off.(Taking them off will make a difference but it will still hurt super bad to eat) Advil does help but not when you eat. Try to eat yogurt, ice cream, and other soft foods. Suck on some ice or something cold and try to keep your mind off them, by watching t.v a movie or some other activities to keep your mind off. On the third day they will hurt only a little bit and on the fourth the pain will be virtually gone. Enjoy your new smile!

∙ 13y agoIt depends on what your orthodontist says.
If your teeth are aligned a certain way you may need to have elastic bands to help support the straightning procedure. If your orthodontist says you don't need it then its probably because your teeth don't need the elastics, just the braces. Hope I helped! :)
