Recovering from jaw surgery often involves using orthodontic elastics to help guide your bite and support proper healing. In this video, Trisha and Lily explain exactly how elastics work after surgery and what you can expect during recovery.
You’ll learn:
The difference between tight surgical elastics (used right after surgery) and guiding elastics (started at your one-week post-op visit)
When you’ll be cleared to use a straw again
How to apply and remove elastics safely at home
Helpful tools and tips for replacing elastics if they break or pop off
What to do if you run into any trouble with your elastics
We’ll also walk you through how elastics attach to your braces, temporary anchorage devices (TADs), or small screws placed by your orthodontist. With our guidance, you’ll know exactly how to manage your elastics for a smoother recovery.
