🎮 Your bite has an XP bar—and elastics are how you level it up.
Back-to-school is here, so let’s talk about the orthodontic item kids somehow manage to lose in under 24 hours: ELASTICS.
If your orthodontist has prescribed elastics, consistent wear is what helps your bite make progress. Taking them out for most of the day is basically hitting PAUSE on that progress. ⏸️
Make school-day compliance easier by keeping extras in places you’ll actually need them:
🎒 Backpack
🍎 Lunchbox
🚗 Parents’ car console
🏫 Locker
🛏️ Nightstand
🧥 Jacket pocket
Pro tip: Don’t rely on remembering. Build your own “elastic stations” so there’s always a backup nearby.
📌 Save this for back-to-school!
Send it to a friend who is always asking, “Does anyone have an elastic?”
