My brace is falling apart?! Please help!!!!?!
Question:
My brace is falling apart?! Please help!!!!?
im 13 and have recently had a brace fitted. i was really worried at first, but now i've had it for 2 weeks i'm starting to like it.
the only problem is, is that one of the brackets has come loose and it wobbles everywhere when i brush it, also the wire at the back of my mouth has snapped and is making my gum bleed!
I know i should go back to the orthodontist, but the lady there is quite strict, will she take the brace off me? What should i do?! please help.
thankyou very much. x

hey!! im 16 and i have a brace to!! i've had it on now for nearly two years. at first my gums were hurting and bleeding cause it was rubbing on them, but dont worry it gets better over time. I was really worried at breaking it and that the dentist was going to get annoyed but it was ok, its much better to go and get it fixed so that it can do its job rather than have it broken and not doing it??!! make sure you keep brushing it really well and using the special little brushes!! in the end it will be soo worth it!! i cant wait to take mine off and see the results!! hope it all goes well!! amy x x
