Although there are an infinite number of ways to wear elastics, we have compiled the most commonly worn elastics our patients are wearing on a daily basis.

Please note that all photos have been taken with a full complement of permanent teeth. If, however, you are missing teeth or have had teeth extracted, your elastic wear will be a slight variation from the norm.
