So i just completed my first week with tray one, and as mentioned in my earlier post, i am wearing elastics (rubber bands) that are attached to my canine and second from last bottom molar on each side of my mouth. Now since my teeth have moved slightly, i cant seem to keep the bottom tray attached to my teeth. It keeps popping up on my bottom molars. its still pretty snug on my front 6 bottom teeth, and i still feel pressure there. I'm not having a problem with the top tray, everything is staying in place.

I still have another week before i switch over to tray 2.

Anyone else wearing elastics have this problem?

    I'm currently on my third tray (3/35 upper and lower). I don't have rubber bands and don't know if ill be needing them I'll have to ask my next visit but I did notice that my bottom aligner seems to be loose on my left molar. I think its because that's the side I remove them from. The next set I'm going to make sure I rotate because I feel like I'm bending the plastic upwards and basically reshaping the trays. Idk if that same reason for yours but if anything call your ortho and ask him. You can need to do a new mold. Good luck with your treatment (:
