Question:

Is it better to break a bracket in front or back?

I broke a bracket and it is in the bottom right and way in the back. I heard that breaking a bracket in the back is better than breaking one in the front. Is this true?Also: I have no way of getting to my ortho for about a month

Answer:

breaking a bracket in general is never good news but breaking one in the back usually takes a little more time to put back on since its a little more difficult to reach. Definitely make an appointment with your orthodontist asap to get it back on though because the sooner its fixed the sooner your braces will come off :)
I think back is worse personally, but that's just my opinion. I'd say put some wax on it, so it won't rub, and give you sores
