If the gums under your appliance start to look red and puffy, and bleed easily, it means they're not getting brushed enough.

The elastics you have been given must be worn full-time and changed at least once or twice a day.
If the same elastics are left on all day they will break easily and they will lose their elasticity by the end of the day, slowing tooth movement.
Remove the elastics to brush and take them out to eat, although if you can learn to eat most foods with them in, you will get done with them sooner.
If you wear your elastics 80% of the time, you will get no movement.
It takes a long time to move the teeth where we want them, but a very short time for them to move back to their original position when the elastics are not being worn.
