Does anyone-

Find that it's easier to put elastics IN than to take them OUT?? At least those with simple configurations. Mine run right along the wire and I find myself digging in my mouth far deeper and longer when I remove them As a side note- I have gaps opening up all over the place! All of my front teeth seem to be coming apart lol. Flossing time is so much easier.

Oh yes, I remember having a configuration of elastics that was hard to get out. So I have a dental kit with the pick (hope that makes sense) and used the pointed end to kinda grab at the elastic to pop it out. I've used tweezer too, haha.

I cant say that ive evr had an elastics configuration like that yet, and im hoping i don't have too many elastics configurations to go (since I've had to use elastics since day one of having braces, and its been 11 months)

I'll be getting top/bottom ones later on in treatment. I just think to myself if anyone ever saw me trying to get these out, they would think "that lady has a serious problem" lol. I need to pick up a dental kit. I could be a dental supply salesman with all the stuff I have: toothbrush/mini toothpaste/floss/christmas tree things/elastics/picks. I just buy the packages and throw them in my purse. Never even thought to use those picks to get them out. I tend to skip right over the simple ways to do things and go straight to the impossible...
