Dental Braces with Broken Brackets
With Dental Braces and all orthodontic appliances, breaking or damaging them is always a possibility.Depending on the problem and discomfort level your having with your dental braces will determine if you can fix it yourself and wait till your scheduled appointment or if a visit to Dr. Robison right away is necessary.
Some issues you may have with your Dental Braces are broken brackets, broken wires, loose bands, or wires sticking out. But, the most common would be a broken bracket.
A bracket is the metal or ceramic piece attached to each tooth by a composite resin.
Foods And Things To Avoid
Dr. Robison will tell you NO sticky or hard foods, you are told this for a reason. Sticky or hard foods can cause the resin to break or weaken. If this happens your bracket can come loose, poke your gums, cheek, or tongue, even biting on your nails or chewing on pens or pencils can cause your bracket to break. Dr, Robison will give you a special wax after he has placed your Dental Braces, this wax can be used for broken brackets or wires to keep them from rubbing on your cheek or gums. Also, a broken bracket can cause unwanted tooth movement which can result in a longer treatment time. | |
