The wire on my braces keeps breaking!?

Question

I have had my braces on since January, and my bottom braces were put on in May. The wire on the left side of my bottom braces, in the very back, keeps breaking! I dont eat anything im not supposed to eat, and none of the other wires to this! My ortho has tried to fix it many times, and he keeps having to use new wires. He even tried to use a stronger wire, and it still broke! It has broken at least 10 times now. Why does it keep breaking?

P.S.-Im going to get it fixed AGAIN next wednesday.

Answer 1

I have the exact same problem. Last time it happened the orthodontist said it wasn't anything I was doing wrong (like you I don't eat anything I shouldn't) it was purely that the tooth at the back was so far out of alignment that the wire was under huge pressure. It's a real nuisance. The time before last it went for 4 weeks without breaking but this time it went after a week and I was just walking along the street not doing anything.
