Chipmunk elastics.. pain in the ass

    Hi Guys,

    I've been in braces now for about 2 months. So far so good. I can already see some progress and I'm happy with how it is going.

    In my case I had my upper 4's removed to make room for my crowded canines to move back.

    Up until now I have had power chains pulling each canine to the upper rear molar.

    Today I have been told to move to chipmunk elastics. This is fine.

    My problem is that I'm a guy, have huge hands and changing these things three times a day is a pain in the ass.
    I already sort of managed to do the left hand side earlier, but it was very fiddly.

    I wasted a few getting them on the right side. Is there any special nack/technique that you guys use to fit them on?

    Thanks

    Easiest thing is probably to get yourself a tweezers and use that instead of fumbling around with your fingers. They can be tricky beggars alright but in a couple of weeks you'll be flying with them! :)
