  • @charissabattenberg1794

    What if you run out of them Like how long can you wear them can you wear them for the whole day just take them out to eat and then put them back in or... and what if you have a severe deep over bite what will they do since the brackets from bottom braces will get crushed

    • @aj_therevenger807
      @aj_therevenger807 Před 2 lety

      I'm not in any means an expert, but I think with elastics you wear them all day(Unless specified) and take them out when you eat and brush your teeth. You should also change them throughout the day, maybe three times, cause otherwise they lose their elasticity. If you run out you should be able to get more from your orthodontist, or buy them from somewhere. I have an overbite and they put some things called turbo ramps/bites on the back of my top teeth. This CZcamsr has done a video on them if you are interested.
