How many brackets is too many brackets to have poped off when you go in for your next app? How many is the most you have broken in between apps?

i.ve had a few , most orthodontist that have tons of problems with brackets comeing off is an issue with the enamel being to smooth, an if this is the case they want to put bands around those teeth ,

I never had any pop off during my 18-month sentence! I sometimes wonder if it had anything to do with how the brackets were bonded, or what type of bonding agent was used. My brackets were not cured with a blue light.

I've had a total of 8 come off. Some from gold crowns, some from ceramic crowns, some from the same tooth as before. My ortho always welcomed me to call and report these things as they may or maynot have an impact on the surrounding teeth. He had rather me call and ask than be in doubt.

I have lost 2 brackets both where knocked of by my ortho and never replaced. so one I have been missing for almost 14 months and the other for about 9. I am hoping my new ortho will address the lost brackets.

I've knocked off two, one due to faulty glue on a crowned tooth, the other entirely my fault (eating something crunchy). The first was able to be saved and reattached, the other was swallowed....
