Main goal of orthodontists is to give best smile to their patients. Orthodontic braces perfect smiles by applying constant, steady pressure to move teeth into proper position. However, the brackets and wires attached to the teeth are limited in the direction of applied force. In many situations, particularly correction of bite problems, require the upper and lower rows of teeth to move relative to each other. Elastics apply constant pressure to align the teeth in a perfect bite. It is one of the prime requirements now a days, that has simplified orthodontic treatment in many ways. Braces move teeth on jaws and elastics moves jaws relative to each other. Elastics are required in antero-posterior ,vertical correction and finishing stage. Considering its importance in routine practice, the present paper will discuss about various types of elastics and different methods of wearing them. This paper will also discuss guidelines for wearing elastics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
