Ok. So. I have braces and I've broken like 7-8 brackets in like 5 months.. is that normal or am I just like a?

Question

bad take care-er of braces. They just seem to be broken all of a sudden though. I dk.

Answer 1

kind of depends on your orthodontist and how long you have them, really.

for example, in my first year or so of braces i broke more brackets then i thought ever possible. but as time went on, things got easier. :]

now, if you've had them for awhile but they still keep breaking i would suggest you just watch what you eat... or bump into (lol).

i hope i helped, and good luck!

  

Answer 2

in my two years of wearing braces i had never broken any brackets.

so you may be a little rough on your braces or doing the opposite of what your orthodontist is telling you to do.

Answer 3

I've had my braces on for almost 2 years now and I've never broken any brackets. Idk what's wrong with yours. It's probably your Orthodontist's fault...

Answer 4

i think ur braces just decided to collapse, like my house!

Answer 5

u should seriously go to ur dentist

cos with out the braket the braces aren't doing their

jobs properly

Answer 6

I bet it's a combination of two things: Your orthodontist SUCKS at placing them correctly on your teeth and allow them to adhere;(what if the cement they use sucks?) and you're not being as careful as you should be. When I had braces, i only broke 2 brackets the whole two years.

Answer 7

Haha, I'm guessing you're eating a lot of hard foods. I have braces too, and I've broken only one bracket before in around a year and a half. So you should reeeally think about eating the right foods and everything..

Either that, or your ortho has cheap brackets. xD

Answer 8

No I think you're fine- I got braces about 6 months ago and plenty of my brackets have come off. It might just be the type of braces or if you grind your teeth at night- when you first get braces you often play with them with your tongue without realising- it could just be that. Ask your dentist.
