When into the treatment do you get orthodontic elastics?

Depends...: Sometimes orthodontic treatment does not require elastics at all. Other cases just need it at the end, while still others use it throughout treatment. Ask your doctor what is right for you.

Anywhere: Anywhere from the first month to the last month, and some patients require no elastics. Orthodontic treatment is not an assembly line procedure. Every patient is different. Best answer, ask your qualified Orthodontic Specialist what he/she has planned for you to best resolve your individual malocclusion.

No set rule: this always differs with orthodontist depending on the type of treatment being preformed and the orthodontia technique

When needed: Elastics are but one of many auxillaries that the orthodontist can use to move your teeth. When and where they are used are based on your malocclusion and your treatment plan, and since everyone is different, there is no one answer for all.

Follow instructions : To ensure you will have an excellent smile and a great bite, there are a few important guidelines that you need to follow exactly as instructed: wear elastics and keep good oral hygiene. Good luck.

Varies: Some patients do not need them. Depends on the needed movements. Follow your Orthodontists directions. Good Luck.
