A week ago, my brother had accidentally hit me in the mouth with the door, and 5 of my brackets came loose. I remember while I was getting my braces put on, they kept popping off because my front two teeth were so crooked. So, after one beside the front two teeth was hit, and became loose, those two came loose following. I am at a loss, and now i HATE braces. Today, i was brushing my teeth while eating (and i always brush gently, while using an electric toothbrush) and one on the other side came loose for no reason. I have never even thought about eating something that would break a bracket and i never did. I'm just afraid that my orthodontist will blame me for it coming loose, when i did nothing to it. P.S. my appointment is tomorrow, and the office is closed today, preventing me from notifying them. Sorry if this is really confusing.
The problem was likely the accident with the door. Sh*t happens. I suggest you tell the orthodontist about the accident so he/she can check that nothing else was damaged. Brackets come off. Some orthodontists will blame what you eat, but brackets will come off. Maybe the bonding wasn't too good. For sure you're not the only one. When I was a kid there were no bonded brackets and the brackets were welded to bands like you probably have on your first molars. Those brackets didn't fall off so much. That's the price of progress, for you--and your orthodontist. Steve Bornfeld, DDS
the only bracket i've got broken substitute right into a lower back hook one they generally did no longer care approximately it. It substitute into as quickly as considered one of terrific 2 they might get on because of the fact my tooth are so tiny. looks i did no longer choose it in the 1st undertaking provided that they've yet to alter it. call them first. enable them to renowned. Ask what to do. And stop eating the incorrect stuff. it is going to enlarge your scientific care, it could properly do eternal injury on your tooth, and you or your parents WILL could pay extra. I pay $152 in line with appointment out of my very own pocket, to no longer point out the $760 down fee. This junk is expensive. I shelter it. I can not intentionally screw myself into paying extra suitable for my very own stupidity and stubbornness. in the adventure that your parents have been paying, probably they're going to could coach the invoice over to you and notice in case you finally end up extra suitable careful. ;)
The way they do the brackets now, well, a lot of the time they DO come off. (They used to put a metal band AROUND each and every tooth. No way those suckers would pop off, but it left open LOTS of room for decay, so they switched to the little 'dot' brackets for the front and side teeth.) If your teeth are straighter now, the brackets probably should not be coming loose due to the tension. I would guess that they did not properly dry your teeth when they put the brackets on. They will reglue them tomorrow. Make sure you tell them that you were not eating stuff that caused them to come off and explain about the door. The door thing probably loosen them.
