🐰🦘🦜🐻 What's with all the animals? 🐻🦜🦘🐰
If you're having orthodontic treatment with braces or clear aligners, you may have been given a packet of rubber bands (elastics) to wear.
At first, they can feel a little awkward and take some getting used to—but don't give up! 💪
These small elastics play a very important role in helping teeth and jaws move into the correct position. In many cases, they are the key to achieving the best result and keeping your treatment on track.
You might notice your elastics have animal names such as Rabbit, Bear, Parrot, Quail, Moose or Impala. 🐰🐻🦜🐦🦌
These animals aren't just for fun—they identify a specific size and strength of elastic prescribed just for you.
✨ The more consistently you wear your elastics, the better and faster they can do their job.
If you have any questions about your elastics or you're finding them difficult to wear, please let us know—we're always happy to help!
