Well - I'll be in trouble with my Ortho today. I broke a bracket AND snapped my archwire - and this is only day 15!! YIKES!!
I'm not sure how one of the bottom brackets came off - but I'm really clear how I snapped my top arch wire - pizza crust - oy. I should know better too, as I have the no-no list posted on my fridge and pizza crust is at the top of the list!
Hope they will be understanding that I'm new to all this.
I knocked a bracket off within the first month. I called, said I was guilty of a random act of stupidity and told them I'd get better. They smiled and understood. You are not the first nor the last to knock a bracket off. One of the things you're doing is testing your limits.
You'll be fine.

I wore braces (this time) for 1294 days or 3 years, 6 months and 17 days.
But who's counting?

Thanks for praying for me and thinking happy thoughts.
If knocking off a bracket would make you a criminal I'd be doing 10 to 20.
