I just wanted to know whether it's normal that during treatment that the wire isn't locked into two brackets at some point.
We are trying to close an extraction gap on the lower left and I just realized that the wire isn't locked into two back brackets on the right. Is this so that the gap can close faster on the left? Is there any reason for this or could it be that it popped out?
