Lost another bracket door last night, it popped off when flossing. This is the second one in two weeks. The last one they fixed with a wire tie, so I guess they will do the same again. Has anyone else had issues with these? My orthodontist told me the self-lig brackets would be faster, but this is annoying. Maybe the wire ties would work better for me?
I've had wires pop out of molar brackets before but I've never had any issues with the doors and I'm almost 6 months in. Sorry to hear about your troubles.
