Brackets popping off

#1 Post by rexthedestroyer »

This question has probably been asked a thousand times, but what should I do if a bracket pops off the tooth. The only thing holding it in place is the wire. Will the ortho just glue it back on or will he have to take everything off?

The ortho would take off the ligature(s) or powerchain, re-glue the bracket, and reinsert the wire.
About three years since being braced. Changed ortho twice, so it's hard to keep track.

A very special thanks to KK & linda21 for constantly reading my log. Thanks!
