"With your crossbite, were the top teeth or bottom teeth the issue? Also pointed toward cheek or lingual? Last question; if you had them tipped what rubber band config did they have you in?"
Top teeth and not sure if cheek or lingual but basically, when I would bite down, my right top teeth, were to the right of my bottom. Didn't line up.
I had a few configurations with elastics, ie, 2 from top eye teeth to buttons on lower teeth, sometimes just one side and the I had 2 buttons placed on the inside top left two molars and they hooked on the lower button. Kind of hard to describe.
Mostly just at night but for a short period, all day.
"Have the elastics remained in the same location throughout your treatment? Did you go through refinement stages? What retainer will you have after treatment is finished?"
No, as noted above.
Yes, one refinement stage, ie 22 aligners.
I will get fitted for the retainer next Sept 12/18. I will have a fixed upper and lower and then a removable to sleep in at night.
I hope this helps!
