Yes. The rubber bands are what helps correct the cross bite.
to make them go back.
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!
You can get invisible braces or white elastics might work. But other than invisible braces you CAN'T hide braces.
The orthodontist assigns specific types of elastics to each patient depending on the braces and the patients needs. It's not recommended to use elastics that aren't specifically assigned for you. You should visit the orthodontist for more elastics instead of using your brothers.
You can get the colored elastics changed each time the orthodontist adjusts them.
no. but when you get the elastics in your mouth its a bit harder to open your mouth but you will be able to.
Elastics are typically provided during orthodontic treatment when braces are placed, usually a few weeks after the initial installation. They are used to help move teeth into the correct position and improve bite alignment. Your orthodontist will explain when and how to wear them, as well as their specific purpose for your treatment. Regular follow-ups will determine if adjustments are needed.
If you have a small overbite and you wear your elastics, it may take longer because it needs to be exposed.
Train tracks hurt for the first week mainly, and then it's fine until you get elastics!
