Braces are delicate and must be taken care of in order to prevent damage to them.
Always be careful with what you eat and your activities to keep from breaking any of your appliances.
Sometimes, however, things happen and something breaks.
It is important to know what to do.
The following are some of the common problems that occur and what to do about them.
If you have a loose band or bracket and it is still attached to the wire, leave it in place.
If it is uncomfortable, place wax on it, if it comes out completely, wrap the brace or band in tissue and bring it to your next appointment.

Your braces will be attached quickly and easily to your teeth, but a full day is necessary for the bands to completely affix.
It is a good idea to wait several hours after getting braces before eating solid food.
You may find it easier to eat soft foods for the first couple of days while you are becoming accustomed to eating with your new braces.
The braces may feel a little awkward at first and the teeth may be tender or sensitive to pressure.
This is completely normal and will go away soon.
It may feel as though the braces are "sticking out, " but this sensation will also soon pass.
