A Question Regarding braces...?!
Question: Hey =)
In the molar braces, there are two tubes right?
The arch wire is usually going through the top tube...i'm not sure if there's a name for it, but there's another tiny tube underneath it. My cousin's archwire was accidently bent but she fixes it right in again, but she doesn't remember what tube it was supposed to be in, the top or bottom. On the other side it's on the top..... which tube does the wire have to be in?
I'm sorry if this is a bit confusing but i hope u understand...
Thanks!

tell her to go back to her orthodontist it will only take a couple of minutes for the ortho to replace the wire into the tube. If it gets put into the wrong one or isn't in tight enough that wire won't have any effect on the movement of teeth
