Can orthodontic elastics be used to correct midline of both arches? my bite is correct, but both arches are off center from midline of my face.

Orthodontics: Elastics alone will not solve your issues. Many midlines are not perfect, but if you have a nice smile it should not be a problem. Consult with a local orthodontist regarding your treatment options.

Offset midlines: Would that it was that simple. Please consult with a qualified Orthodontic Specialist. He/she can then asses the extent of your malocclusion and the treatment choices available to resolve your problem.
