Orthodontic query

2020-12-18 06:47:33
Hello Sir, I am undergoing orthodontic treatment. Have a query pertaining to elastic chain placed in lower teeth. Is it fine as elastic chain in on brackets  for front two lower teeth unlike adjacent teeth where chain is below brackets. Will this affect teeth movement?

Yes it would affect but sometimes your orthodontist tries to reduce forces to some teeth depending on bone support or maybe they have come off loose. You have deposits that need to be cleaned. You should be worried about them too since the spaces wont completely close if there are deposits inbetween. Kindly take care if your oral hygiene especially with braces

Yes, this will definitely affect tooth movement and chances are that there will be unwanted tooth movement, which might further prolong your treatment time.
