Recently got elsastics on, and I’m thinking the assistant put it on wrong he knows I have an underbite but he put them on in a way to correct an overbite I’m so confused and worried did he do it by accident or has anyone experienced this with inner arch elastics?

I'd take a photo of how you were shown to wear them and send it to the Dr's office, or give them a call to check.

Not sure how they have you wearing elastics and the other suggestion made is good.

Someone else posted an awesome link to a site discussing elastics in details with screen shot images of configs and bites that might be helpful going forward.
