I have only had my braces a few fews, but a few days after i got my braces i ate hard candy and a bracket broke. Its been like two weeks and my mom still hasnt made an appointment until today. Now the two back brackets are broken in the way back on the right side, and the third one to the front is like bent sidways. Also, the wire is bent. I think they are breaking because of the wire. I literally have one bracket on the right side that is normal, and one sideways. I havent been able to wear my rubberbands because the bracket was broke. The whole left side is perfect, but its really bad on the right. I am really scared I am going to get in trouble for having 3 broken brackets and a broken wire and not wearing my bands because of it AND waiting over a week. I am so scared!! Am I overreacting?
A broken bracket / wire means a trip to your orthodontist, same day if possible. I'm not sure why you waited so long but they can fix you up pretty easily. Your not going to get in trouble, but of course your teeth aren't correcting on your right side now, so every day you wait is just adding to your treatment time. Your orthodontist will yell at you for not coming in sooner, not for breaking a bracket. You're obviously new to braces and still learning how to not mess them with food. Good luck!
