Yes, personal experience says it moves the aligning right along! I ended up getting out of my braces 3mo early!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I just got my elastics also and they told me to wear them when I sleep!.!.Although they can be uncomfortable for the first few day's, But they are well worth it because when you get elastics they usually take your braces off shortly after, But if you don't wear them the right way you will have to be stuck with braces for a good while!.!.!.And wearing the elastics at night makes sense because when your sleeping that's a good bit of hours, and they want you jaw to get used to being the the place the elastics are putting them, and if you don't wear the elastics for them hours you sleep, your jaw will move back to the wrong way, and trust me the dentist knows when you haven't been wearing them!.

I hope I helped!.
Good Luck!

One night isn't the end of the world, however your teeth might feel funny when you first put them back in!. I know mine feel this way when I keep mine out for any extended period of time, as my jaw/ bite/ teeth are actually more comfortable and just simply used to having them on!.

Some people don't wear them during the day and only at night, it all depends on what your ortho says!. Some people also have trouble keeping them in at night, like I did in the beginning (I would bite through them!)!.

My orthodontist told me to wear my 24/7, except when eating or brushing!. I am to wear them while sleeping too!. Right now, I am wearing 6 at a time!.!.!. and on a fairly strong set!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When I had them, I had to wear them 24/7, except for when I was eating!. Night is just as important as day when wearing them!. That's a long time to go without them, if you skip night wear you might have to wear them longer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Usually you are supposed to wear them 24/7 except when brushing your teeth or eating (although some people are supposed to eat with theirs)!. I would give your ortho a call and ask him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
