My wire slides around when I brush my teeth, but when they put the wire in, they also put a stop on it that prevents it from sliding out of the tube on the molar band.

Popping out of where?

Oh yeah. I had two issues. The wire would pop out of the end bracket or it would slide out of the back just enough to cut my gums.

What I quickly found was that a pair of tweezers are essential for the Damon brackets. You need to be carefull of course but the wire is easy to slide back in place (rotate) or thread back into the bracket.

The biggest issue uasally happens when you first get the braces on because the wire is so thin and bends easaly. They eventually just clipped the wire between the last brackets, until I moved up to a bigger wire.

can someone tell me the pros and cons of damon braces and how much they cost it would be greatly appreciated.
Im seriously considering them
i realyl dont want braces but i definetly need them because of crowding on the bottom and my two front teeth are a little misplaced
do you think id be eligible for damon braces or if not what other kinds are good that arent that visible.
