I discuss the use of class 2 elastics to distalize the teeth slightly for better alignment. The occlusion is close to class 1, so minimal class 2 correction is suggested to maintain the current occlusion. No significant distalization is recommended to preserve the canine class 1 occlusion. Action requested: Consider using elastics cautiously for alignment.
