Rubber band usage with braces
Hello,
I need to wear rubber bands in few days. My concern is my buccal tube at one side is removed as it came off. So, that side I need to put rubber band on upper 1st molar and lower canine. However, on other side I have buccal tube intact. So do I need to wear rubber band on 2nd molar or 1st molar. Wanted a confirmation on this as had doubt regarding balancing both sides. Pics attached.
