I am getting problems with orthodontic elastics?

"Problems?": What kind of problems? If they are making teeth sore take analgesics and persevere. Soreness will dismiss rapidly. Don't keep taking them in and out.

Call orthodontist: If you have any problems–like elastics breaking frequently or loose wire, don’t wait until your next scheduled appointment. These problems should be corrected as soon as possible. Call your orthodontist today.
