They are commonly used with braces and sometimes with clear aligners that have elastic hooks or attachments. Their plain purpose is to help the top and bottom teeth \u201cmeet\u201d more evenly when biting together. They are most often used during the finishing stages of orthodontic treatment to refine the bite."}
