Anterior Box Information

Special hooks have been added to your brackets so that you can wear an "anterior box." If you look in the mirror at your two front teeth on top, move one over and you will find your laterals. This is where the hooks have been added. Your laterals are right next to your front teeth on the bottom as well. Connect your rubber band or "elastic" to each of new hooks creating a box. It may feel tight, but you will get used to it. If you ever forget how to wear your rubber bands, just call and one of the technicians will be happy to help you over the phone. If you ever lose or run out of rubber bands call us right away and we will get you some more.
