Question:

I knocked two brackets off my braces when eating cereal?

i was eating some cereal and it knocked two brackets off my teeth, the wire has gone abit strange i have two brackets hanging off it and im in quite alot of pain on the bracket next to the two coming off, its a sunday so i cant get into the authodontist and they have had some work done so they have been un-available or a while but im going to phone up again tomorow.i feel like cutting off the wire because of the pain and to take the brackets off what should i do until then?


Answers:

I would recommend not cutting the wire, use the emergency wax, call the after hours line. Follow procedures given to you during the time of banding.
Cutting the wire itself could be dangerous if it was done with the wrong instruments. Normally the orthodontist will fit you in as the first patient the next day to fix it and reappoint you to get them placed back if it was more than just simple.
Just eat carefully, slow is the keyword.
