Your orthodontist has a treatment plan in mind and has spent countless hours training to give you that picture perfect smile. Trying to second guess his/her decisions on a patient that has never been seen is unfair to them, and you. Ask your orthodontist directly.

Malocclusions are like snowflakes, no two are alike. You may have the same handles on your teeth (braces), but each patient's treatment is individualized. Did your Orthodontist tell you to quit rubber bands when you ran out, or to call if you ran low. Your specialist has a unique treatment plan for you. Ask him/her what's next.
