What are the little coloured elastics on braces for? 🌈🦷
Those tiny elastics, called modules, are what hold the wire securely into each bracket. The wire is what helps guide the teeth into position, and the modules help keep everything working together properly throughout treatment ✨
Fun fact 🤍
Modules come in lots of different colours — some patients love changing them every visit to match holidays, sports teams, or their favourite colours!
Small parts, big job 💫
