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'm a BAD, BAD girl! LOL

OOPS!

Let me know what they say. I am always terrified I'm going to break something when I eat.

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.

They were very nice about it -no biggie - whew!

In fact I got a very good review of how well I'm taking care of my teeth - brushing 3 times a day and flossing every night pays off!

Thanks for all your input! I felt like such a criminal going in this morning! LOL

Day 15 - got the molar bands put on! Weeeee! Now I've got a mouthful!

If knocking off a bracket would make you a criminal I'd be doing 10 to 20.
