Im worried about my brace elastics please help!

Hi, my orthodontist told me to double up on my elastics when I went to bed, however I've been doubling up night AND day thinking it would speed up the process. But I was looking on the internet and everybody was saying dont do it. Now im worried because I have been doing this for a month and am scared that it would lengthen my process. Please can somebody tell me if doubling up is really bad and if you have done it in the past.
Thankyou.

Well it isnt good but it wont hurt you. It will make the process a little longer then it regularly would because it pulls your teeth. Only do this at night for now on. It will help alot.
