Arch wire snapped!!

#1 Post by Kyle23 »

I have lingual braces and my upper arch wire snapped. I didn't realise it until I was brushing my teeth and that is when the coil spring came off. There wasn't any pain or discomfort. I called my ortodontist up first thing in the morning and he said to come in.

So I went and he change my arch wire and he said he will replace it with stronger 1's when I go for my adjustment next week.

Just thought I'd share my experience with everyone.
