Elastics usage on braces
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.?
