my orthodontist had to put some blue cement glue on my back two molars after putting my braces on. Any reason why they do this? They also had to drill some of it down, and in the process, his assistant accidentally hit the molar in front of it and chipped it! The size of the chip is fairly insignifcant, but it really piss es me off. My main question is, how will they get this cement out of my teeth? Will it just fall out or will they have to file it down with that drill?I'm really scared of them drilling my teeth anymore because I don't want them to chip anymore of my surrounding teeth.
My three kids have braces. If I remember right, the blue stuff was their to keep the bite from messing with the new fixtures. Only temporary. I think they had theirs lazered off. None of them mentioned anything about drilling, only that it smelled funny when it was removed.
The cement will surprisingly wear off over time. They don't have to drill it off, but if they still need to they can use a buffing or smoothing tool on the drill, which will not damage your teeth. Its more important that you worry about brushing well with braces! And use a fluoride rinse daily, or even ask for a prescription fluoride.
