Bracket on back tooth of my braces is loose!Help?
PS.I got my braces on 2 weeks ago
Answers:
brush your teeth, you'll be fine, they'll just glue it back on at your next appointment. they'll come loose at various points while you have your braces on...try not to eat hard food (carrots and chewy lollies) because they "aid" in the braces coming loose. i took bad care of my braces and had the wires come undone, backets come off, and some how even managed to pull the metal cage off my back molar...but i had braces for 3 1/2 years because of it...so just take care of your braces, but dont stress if some brackets come off, they'll just glue them back on :)
You cannot wait two weeks to brush your teeth. If the ortho doc said wait you can always have your general dentist recement it. As a dental assistant I strongly recommend brushing, just use very light pressure, but spend a few extra moments on the area. If it only one bracket on the side of the mouth, it should be ok, but keep a close eye not to swallow it. it will save your mom some money if you dont.
yes you can brush. if the bracket comes off it's still ok.nothing bad is going to happen. when you go back to the orthodontist he will glue another bracket on and put a new archwire and tighten the brackets. I had braces years ago when plastic was all the rage because they were clear..clear but fragile so the front ones broke off alot.
brush your teeth for a healthy happy mouth :)
If it's broken, they should fix it! If I was you I would call the dentist and complain
