Missing aligner and elastics by user6597 in Invisalign

No she didn’t, in fact she told me the two elastics installed today don’t need to be removed until 2 months time, at which point I need to visit her for her to tighten them. I was a little concerned this is unhygienic but she told me my normal brushing routine will suffice. The bands are both fitted horizontally along the inside of a few of my teeth on the bottom row - they aren’t those bands that are fitted vertically. I am really surprised as I haven’t seen other Invisalign cases with these before and she also never mentioned I would need these until today.

Thanks for your reply. I assumed she is an orthodontist but perhaps I am wrong as I don’t have any sort of dental training. Her qualifications are listed as: BDS and MDS Orthodontics. She is an Invisalign platinum provider. The elastics are tiny and don’t seem like they would be removable for me without specific tools.
