A few days ago one of my brackets broke off but it was still attached to the wire and was extremely lose and it kept on spinning when I talked. the bracket got stuck near the side of my gum and it started to hurt so i moved it(it moved very easily) and it chipped the center of my tooth and now there's a little square of missing enamel. I went back to the orthodontist earlier to get it attached should I have mentioned it or is this no biggie?
You should of mentioned it! Did he but the bracelet in? If he did, then you can sue him for not doing it properly!
Please dont spazz because It actually sounds like you didnt chip your tooth at all. Brackets are usually bonded onto the tooth with a tooth colored material called composite resin, Is this maybe what you saw? Ive never seen a bracket err. carve out the center of a tooth as you mention especially in Squares. I believe what you saw was the outline of the composite glue, nothing to be worried about. Get it checked at your next appointment Good luck
You should have mentioned it. Don't sue him mistakes happen. Go back asap because if the chipped area is still exposed it may be a good harbour for plaque and eventually tooth decay. It can be fixed Good luck. :)
