Orthodontic rubber bands, also known as elastics, are small elastic bands that hook onto your braces from the top teeth down to the bottom teeth.
These rubber bands lose elasticity so it is necessary to replace them, and for that the patient must have knowledge of how to put them on. The use of these bands is necessary to close spaces created during the treatment.
