Lingual arch bracket broke??

#1 Post by sarare077 »

Hey guys!

I've had braces for a month now. Today i was eating and bit into something hard and the bracket attached to my lingual arch molar band broke! Does this mean they will have to take off the lingual arch and put a new one in?? Or can they easily re attach the bracket?

If it's welded on they'll have to remove and repair or replace.
Round 3 (lifetime) Damon stainless applied 3/16/20 (after 4 weeks attempting invisalign) On for about 18 months
Night time elastics with invisalign retainers; still...
Double jaw surgery was 6/18/15...
Orthodontics never really ends...
I'm emphatically against extraction orthodontics!
