i just had my first adjustment. they did not change any of the ligs or wires, but i am now wearing class III elastics. if i understand correctly, these are generally for an underbite. however, i do not have an underbite. can anyone clarify why i would get class III elastics?
Just because you don't have an underbite doesn't mean you don't have a class 3. If you're like me, you probably have crowding on the bottom which makes up for the lack of an underbite.
