Question:

Wire on my braces question?

For my braces, the top wire where my two front teeth are, I can push the wire and it sort of bend. I don't know if this is normal or not. Can someone tell me?

Answer:

Mine did that too when I had braces. No worries:)
Just ask your dentist. have your mom call and ask.
Well im 16 and have had my wire braces for 2 years, and all my neighbors have wired braces, but i believe the invisible braces ive seen appear dangerous, like they have somthing on they are tooth. At the least with wired braces everybody knows its braces and no longer some crap you've got on you tooth thats suposed to be invisible.
Yup its normal. Some of the beginning arch wires that are used are made up of very flexible metals like Nickel Titanium or Sentalloy. They are designed that way to help your teeth unravel for lack of a better term. These wires will allow your teeth to do the most movement. So no worries. But I would definitely try not to bend your wires, as you move along in your treatment some wires are not meant to be bent unless your orthodontist does it because your teeth can move in the wrong direction. Rest assured it is normal.
