Am i supposed to eat with elastics in?!
Question: Am i supposed to eat with elastics in.?
i have to wear elastics 24/7 for my braces.. whenever i eat with them in, they either stretch out and become weak or they just snap, but i always forget to put them back in afterwards.. i try to wear my elastics at least 20 hours a day and it's been about 3 months, so its getting to the point where i am like is it even worth it anymore! anyways if you have had or have elastics, did you leave them in when u were eating or take them out.? because i have heard mixed answers.. any other advice on dealing with elastics.?.?.? thank you!!Health Question & Answer

I just got elastics a little less than a month ago :) You're not supposed to eat with them in, because I think it would be quite hard! My other suggestion is changing them twice a day, because they will start to loose their pull over time.. Good Job wearing your elastics! It'll be worth it! Health Question & Answer
