I have 6 broken brackets?

Question

I have six broken brackets. 2 are loose, 4 are missing. Also, my bottom wire was poking out because of the four missing brackets, so I removed it. I can't go to the Orthodontist because, one, it's too far, and two, I have to pay $800 in order to get it fixed. Other orthos near me won't take transfers.

Help?

Answer 1

My dentist would replace brackets for free. I don't know why you would have to pay so much for that.Are you sure your medical insurance wouldn't cover for it? I think that if you followed the ortho's instructions on what you should do while wearing your braces then it is not your fault that they fell of. I would call and explain that to them. If they didn't do a good job in placing the braces then you shouldn't pay for thier carelessness. I don't remember losing more than 2 or 3 brackets in the 2 years i had them. They should cover the cost for being careless.

Answer 2

that's really bad. i understand that you must spend a lot of money but your  going to have to do it otherwise your teeth will end up going back to the way they were. don't be afraid to go to your orthodontist. you need help badly
