Elastics usage on braces

2022-03-02 19:55:32
I had Class II crossbite and my dentist asked me to use elastics on my braces for the alignment, she told me to stop using them a few weeks ago as she says it's in Class I now, but I still feel it's not properly aligned, can I continue using the elastics or will there be any problem with the alignment if I continue using them.?

Hie.. firstly the pic is blur.. secondly, need an lateral side photograph.. thirdly, ur treatment is still under process.. so if ur dentist has stopped the elastics then it’s fine.. as it all depends how the teeth are responding..
