i've had the molar bands for a month now, but the right molar band feels different since they put the brackets an archwire?
like if i bite it kinda hurts or feels like pressure
is that normal?

I had the same thing. Mine still hurts I'm 2 months in. The best advice I can give you is the chew softly and carefully and it does get better.

i went to sleep last nite with everything intact
work up 30mins ago went straight to the mirror and found that the bracket on the right lateral incisor unstuck and is sliding around on the archwire
i have no clue what happened
has to be they didnt dry it properly?
i have to call them and go back in for it to be fixed today
this sucks

Sorry to hear about that pesky bracket, Sabrina
. I've never had a bracket pop off(yet!) but I've read about it in quite a few posts. Your ortho should be able to fix it up no problem...good luck!

went in today, all they did was remove the bracket and said next week when i am having the lowers done they will reattach the bracket on the upper incisor
they said maybe the tension was too much on that tooth and they were very bz so they couldnt reattach today
