One of my brackets came off today and Miss M told me on my previous appointment that if any of my brackets come off I must ring up.
The bracket came off when I was brushing my teeth and fell down the drain!
It was the one that wasn't attached to the wire on my bottom teeth.
I had another orthodontist look at my teeth and she told me that as it wasn't attached it doesn't need to be put back on.
She said if she did put one on, that it'll come off too as my top tooth bites right onto it which made the original bracket fall off in the first place!
NB: The little gap I had where my missing tooth was has started to close up in this short amount of time.
I've recently had my braces removed (May 2009) and now have an Essix retainer for my bottom jaw (to wear at night) and an Hawley retainer for my top jaw with false tooth attached (to wear during the day).
Starting in Aug/Sept 2004 I had Damon type 2 brackets, then In-ovation brackets (replaced March and May 2006) and seven In-ovation brackets without clips (with elastic ligatures).
Total time in braces = 4 years and 8 months!
NB: All treatment is through the NHS apart from implant work done by Mr Ziff which is private.
