I forgot to put my elastics in one night and had them out for about 10 hours. Will that effect outcome?

Asked By:cichlid12 in Providence, RI

I am scheduled for 18 trays to change weekly (Thank you Acceledent!) and am currently on tray 9. I am fixing a crossbite/underbite closing gaps and extruding 2 teeth. Thanks in advance... I can't wait to be done but am thankful the process hasn't been too bad and also that I can change these trays every week!
