I'm here to share something in relation to braces. If you've been following me on YouTube and on this blog you'll definitely know that I am now wearing "the elastics"
well for those of you who don't know what it is, elastics or simply known as rubber bands is considered to be another type of orthodontic accessory. It's just like the typical Powerchains and the single ligature bands where it aligns your teeth into its desired position. The only difference with the elastics is the fact that they're usually being recommended to patients that need jaw alignment or in other words those who have bite problems like me (I have an open bite).
Elastics can either come into the transparent or the multi-colored ones. However my orthodontist doesn't have the latter which is why I'm stuck with the transparent ones.
Elastics are also arrange in a variety of way depending on the case of the patient. In case that you're wondering I'm using class 2 elastics.
Now I'm my gonna even lie, elastics makes it difficult for me to open my mouth since I am constricted with the rubber bands itself. Furthermore, it adds more hassle on my part since I always need to wear it 24/7 and the only time that I can take it off is whenever I need to eat or brush my teeth.
In the end I realize that having rubber bands are really a tedious task but on the good side of that I can also say that I am already getting close to the end of my braces journey which would only imply...
A GREAT SMILE THAT WOULD LASTS A LIFETIME
till next time!
thanks for reading and see you in my next blog! :))
