Help with braces? (i think the wire broke?)?!


Question: Help with braces? (i think the wire broke?)?
So i got my lower teeth done about a 2 weeks ago, so just a minute ago i chewed a salad tomato and it was alright, i was about to eat the last piece until i heard something break or snap, then i looked at my brace wire and everytime i push it up, it goes back down again, and it doesn't stay glued to the bracket, should i go back to the dentist?

I should tell you that my dad can go ballistic sometimes over me visiting the orthodontist.. (because he's really busy and gets a lot of stress)

Answers:

Hi .don't panic................its one of two things.
either........ the wire has jumped off the bracket, in which case, get a magnifying glass and try and put in back in yourself, you will see a little "popper" , press that and push the wire back into the little groove , then press the popper back in.
or
your bracket has come away from your tooth, in which case the orthodontist has to glue it back on.

Re yr Dad, explain to him, you can be as careful as is possible and still these little blighters can come lose or fall off yr teeth.

Don't leave it too long, as it can interfere with the timescale of your dental treatment.

One and half years in braces (still)
Happened to me couple of times no big deal



ou shuld definently go tothe orthodontist because if you don't the teeth won't be fixed if it not pushing in, or maybe it could be pushing your teeth the wrong way.
