Broken Braces / Wires
Problems with braces can include:
- Broken braces (brackets)
- Broken wires
- Loose bands
- Loose braces
- Wires sticking out
Call and discuss the problem with your dentist. You may need to visit right away, especially if the broken/loose item is causing trauma to your cheeks, gums or tongue. If the problem with your braces was caused by an injury (such as a blow to the mouth), seek help right away.
