Dear Patients,

We hope you are keeping well during this time of physical distancing. We have compiled some tips to help you all with your treatment progress. At Aura Ortho, your treatment timing and results are of utmost importance to us. However, with limited resources and abilities, we may not be able to see you. We understand that this may result in an extended treatment time for many of you. We assure you that we will work our hardest to make sure that you get the best results possible.

Elastic wear – please do your best to make your elastics last until the end of June

• For those wearing full time, continue to do so if they can last until the end of June
• For those wearing night time, continue to do so if they can last until the end of June
• Begin alternating nights, if you are running low
• Note: we will not be able to mail elastics to you
