✨ The Power of Elastics: Small Bands, Big Results! ✨
This smile transformation is a perfect example of why wearing your elastics exactly as prescribed is so important. While braces straighten teeth, elastics help guide the way your upper and lower teeth fit together.
In this case, elastics helped:
✅ Improve the overbite (vertical overlap of the front teeth)
✅ Correct the overjet (horizontal projection of the upper teeth)
✅ Coordinate the upper and lower arches
✅ Improve the bite relationship for better function
✅ Create a healthier, more balanced smile
Elastics may seem like a small part of treatment, but they often make the difference between straight teeth and an exceptional result. Consistent wear can help avoid delays and keep treatment progressing on schedule!
Every smile is unique, and the right combination of braces, aligners, and elastics can create beautiful, healthy results that last.
