i started wearing elastics this month, which was my 3rd adjustment and i wear 3, 2 triangles on the sides and 1 that goes around all my front top and bottom teeth, hurts very much but it really helps my open bite :D

I just got my elastics yesterday :[[ They hurt sooo muchh. and idk why but mine are like extra tiny so they dont stretch as much...my pattern is completely different too. like the elastics are connected to the back molars and my canine teeth. its painful :[
