Braces aren't staying glued?!


Question: Braces aren't staying glued.?
Okay, I don't even eat anything hard and one of my brackets came loose and isnt glued to my tooth anymore, two on my bottom are the same way except I have nooo idea what happened to them, they're just like that, and just now I was eating pizza and one in the very back fell off. Will the orthodontist be pissed at me for this....? I haven't even done anything.. :(Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Just explain what happened, and get an emergency appointment asap! They'll want to fix them as soon as possible, so nothing bad will happen and you'd have to keep the braces longer. I broke one off while eating a pretzel, and then another just came off cause it was glued wrong. My ortho was fine with it, they just put them back on, no big deal. Just make sure that you get an appointment so they can fix them! Health Question & Answer

Get it fix as soon as possible! Get appointment immediately! Just explain to them, and such case is very common.

Though, since the day I got my braces (18 days), none of the brackets drop. It was because the dentist assistance uses the blue light on my tooth for like 15 minutes or a lot longer then the usual ones, as the dentist was busy with the other patient. So the assistance uses the blue light on my tooth longer as she say it will prevent the brackets from falling off as while.Health Question & Answer

i had braces. they fell off many times. its probably just that they didnt use the light (to glue them on) long enough. for me they just said (about after the first 3 had fallen off) that each time they had to reglue a bracket, the cost was $30 and $50 to replace a lost bracket. make sure that you have them all. but i really dont think they would be that mad at you, they might if you lost more than half, but tell your mom, if they fall off when you havent done anything to them then tell the orthodontist. its probably just the glue.Health Question & Answer

well i rember when i broke my back bracket off because i was eateing bread.... i know its annoying but somehow your ortho who put them on did not glue them on properly.. luckey you because with the ammount of glue that they put on mine when they fixed the back bracket it hurt soooo bad because of the scrapeing that they did... but dont worry they shouldent be pissed just because they did not put enough glue on or the glue did not cure or somthing. so you shouldent worry bout it however get a emergency app ASAP because the last thing you want is your teeth going back into the same messed up posistion again. trust me i had that happen to me and it sucked, but like i said all should be good.Health Question & Answer
