Question:

I think my bracket is loose?

I touched a bracket and my nail pushed it it felt different it kinda moves but not a lot. My ortho appt is tomorrow in the morning, and like, my tooth feels loose, but i know for sure it's not. What should I do

Answer:

Did you're orthodontist give you wax for you're braces? Well she/he should have, but if you don't have any, that's ok. If you have some wax for braces, then pull of a small piece, roll it in a ball, and gently cover the wax over you're bracket, then smoosh it down, so that it is flat, and covers the whole bracket. If you don't have wax, then you can leave it alone. If it bothers you a lot, then you can just go buy wax, or something you can cover it. If you have NO other choice, cover the bracket with bread. But this is ONLY if you don't have any other choice, and the bracket is making you're lip bleed, or hurting you badly. Hope this helps, and good luck ;)
