Question:

I have braces and a bracket is loose. Help?

I was brushing my teeth when my bracket all the way in the back of my top row of teeth came loose. The bracket slides around. I want to tell my mom about the loose bracket so I can go get it fixed but right now I'm sick and my next appointment is on the 25th of this month. I'm not really sure of what I should do.

Answer:

Don't worry, a loose bracket is quite common with braces, it happens a lot and your ortho could fix it easy. Though I think it would be best to tell your mom to take you to the orthodontist, because it's best to get broken braces fixed as soon as possible, because it's really difficult to eat and if you keep eating on it you don't want to risk making it worse. If your still unsure, ring up your ortho and ask them if you should come in, but I think you should. Hope I helped. X :)
Go to dentist or rather in fact, go to your orthodontist or whoever takes care of your braces!
call and ask if they can get you in
