My braces wire keeps breaking!

Question

The one on my bottom teeth has snapped on the left end (my left) for about a week, and the one on top at my left end had just snapped, the orthodontist is away for another week, what should I do? I don't want it to send my teeth in all the wrong directions!

Answer 1

dont worry about it

Answer 2

That happened to me to but i waited more than a week and now i am getting my braces off a month early! So i would just wait the week and then schedule an appointment! OK!

Answer 3

i'm sorry,

but the only way is to use your tongue, i know this sounds stupid but this actually works. press your teeth with your tongue in the opposite direction. DO IT ALL THE TIME AND IT WILL WORK and in about 3 days they will have changed a bit. this is the only thing to do in your situation

Hoped it helped

PS: i think you should talk to your dentist on if you should get stronger braces or how to prevent breaking them :)

Answer 4

ask your dentist for a plastic sheild to be put on xx or some wax xx  

Answer 5

go to the dentist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 6

You can wait until your ortho is back in town. It will be fine, and they won't move too much.

Answer 7

sorry

Answer 8

It won't send your teeth in all the wrong directions. braces do little if anything.

Answer 9

Do you not have someone on call in your orthodontist's office? Put dental wax on the places where the wire has snapped. If you can, call another ortho. office where someone can give you a quick fix.

One week with a snapped wire won't ruin your teeth. Your orthodontist must have tightened the wire too much, or you had something in your mouth that cause it to snap.  

Answer 10

Even thought your actual orthodontist is away for another week maybe you can call the office and the receptiononist who works there will be able to give you advice on what to do until your doctor comes back to fix it.
