Answers:
thats weird!. i've never had my braces pop off like that from simple foods!.

maybe the brackets weren't on good enough or something like that!.


all i did was save my bracket and than i made a new appt with my orthodontist so he could just put it back on!.
it doesn't take a long time & it's a frequent problem that they deal with!.

don't worry if you don't get an appt for a few days!.

you'll be fine!.


good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Technically, you aren't supposed to eat potato chips because they can form a hard ball and break your wires and brackets!. Call your dentist and let them know what has happened though because it needs to be fixed!. My cat headbutted me the other night and bent one of the little peg-like things connected to my bracket downwards!. I phoned my dentist and let them know especially since I have an appt set up already for next week!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

this happened to me all the time
try eating softer foods for the first week, you want to anyways because your teeth KILLL, as you probably know
maybe the glue is too weak, or your teeth were'nt dried properly when they applied the glue
go back to your orthodontist and get them glued back on pronto!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i mean its not good!.!.!.!.but thats happened to me!.!.!.luckily i got mine off a few monthes ago!.!.but the first 6 monthes of having them i broke them ALL the time! i wasnt eatting hard foods either!.!.!.u just have to get used to them!.!.!.but then eventuslly after the 6 monthes i didnt break anything =] good luck!. braces REALLY pay off!! my teeth look amazing now and so will ursWww@Answer-Health@Com

It is totally normal, as you first get ur brackets on they are adjusting to ur teeth as you frist get them on if you have a cross bite- which is what i had means ur top teeth do not line up with ur bottoms so the brackets get caught when you chewWww@Answer-Health@Com

no its not normal but it happens!. take it from me i had braces for about 4 and a half years!. so just try and take care of them and clean them as many times as you can cause i sure didnt and i had to wait a long time for them to come off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is actually quite rare, you need to get them looked at!. It does happen but it shouldn't have happened twice in one week!. Get your dentist to check them or possibly seek a second opinion on his work, go to an orthodontist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, it's not normal!. I had braces for two years, and they never once popped out!. Try to schedule an appointment with your orthodontist to see if they can adjust the wires somehow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes its perfectly normal my sister had a fixed brace and she was always breaking it!. i had a removable one and broke it about 8 times!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Damn I don't think so!. I've had mine for like 2 months & have had no problems!. You can't eat chips!. Try chewing with your back teeth only!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It has happened to me alot!. Plus, it also depends on what kind of food you are eating!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
