Question:

My brace bracket is loose?

I woke up I found that one of the brackets are loose and it's the one holding the wire at the end the tube? My mom gets really mad when this happens. What do I do? and will they make my mom and dad pay to get the bracket (tube thing) fix?

Answer:

It is very common to have brackets detach from the tooth during your ortho progress. And sometimes yes the orthodontist will get frustrated with you if its because your eating hard candy and things you should not be. There should not be any additional charges to fix this as it is expected to happen periodically. If it becomes a chronic problem however, thats a different story.
as long as your family has health insurance than they wont have to pay. wait till u go to the orthodontist and act like you dont even know that its loose. ive broken mine 8 times and never had to pay and i act like i dont even notice it and my ortho dont get mad.
go to you Doctor D, and he will fix it free
