Typically, when we shine our blue light on the brackets and we cure the glue that makes the brackets stick to the tooth, about 90% of that glue is fully cured by the time you walk out of our office. However, there's a 10% that will continue to cure over the next 24 hours. The reason that is important to understand is that, we ask all of our patients the first couple of days to eat soft foods. And that is really important, because our job as orthodontists, when we put the braces on your teeth, is that we put them exactly on the teeth where we need them. So, when you close together and bite together, you're teeth may contact some of those brackets, and that's ok. I want patients to know where that point of contact is and kind of stop at that point. I don't ever want patients to squeeze real hard, trying to force their teeth together, because that will cause brackets to come off. And as teeth level and align, we call it, in our early stage of treatment, those inferences often go away, and as you progress through treatment, breaking a bracket becomes less and less of a problem. However, if you do eat hard stuff, and we talk to you about nuts, ice, candy, gum, chewy stuff, those are things that you definitely want to avoid. I tell patients, really, the key to keeping brackets on your teeth and not breaking them off, is really thinking about the consistency of the food, thinking about what kind of food you're eating, and think, how am I going to eat that food. And, oftentimes, if you take small bites, and kind of bounce carefully on your food, then you won't ever have a problem at all. And, we have many cases that we treat that never break a bracket off. But, we have other cases that break a lot off. And, really, you just have to be very careful. You can't cram a lot of food into your mouth, and chomp, chomp, chomp. And I tell people that the biggest thing, people think that our mouth works straight up and down, but our lower jaw, as we eat, kind of moves in a little circle, and that's how sometimes you can not mean to break off brackets, but it's very easily done. And I tell people, the further back you go in the mouth, because our mouth is a wedge, the further back you go in that wedge, the less force it takes to exert a lot of pressure on things. If you think about how we eat, if we bite into something with our front teeth, we have to bite pretty hard. But, if we chew on our back teeth, you can put very little pressure back there, but it's a lot of pressure if you measure the force and chew very easily back there in the back. That's why we do most of our chewing in the back of the mouth. So the important thing that I tell patients about breakage, we often talk about the length of treatment, and I tell patients, in order to meet our goals, and to finish on time, the braces have to stay on the teeth. I tell patients, every time a bracket comes off, often it will mean we take one step forward and two steps back. So, very important to keep them in track, and that way we stay on track.

I have them for a week exactly and I already broke them 3 times I feel like mg orthodontist is going to kick me out the next thing
@Alexander Leon lol not at all! 😂 the first one broke cause I was eating chocolate I admit that I cheated so I got it fixed and swore to never bite anything hard again I kept eating soup and soft stuff until the next morning I woke up and I have a teeth grinding habit when I'm asleep and the same fixed bracket was kinda up so when I bite anything my upper teeth touches it so it broke again I got it fixed 3 days later another bracket broke on its own and I didn't even bite or ate anything hard I was just eating mashed potatoes 🤕

My bracket became loose not moving back and forth just flipping and I wasent even eating any hard or chewy food and I felt it slinky moving I hope they won't charge me for and will be on the NHS
Kirsty Reid yeah...right, it had to have an abnormal force
(Jen) sometimes , some braces aren’t glued correctly , so even without eating hard food that you’re not supposed to . as you eat food ( that you’re supposed to and allowed to ) they get worn out ( im only talking about brackets that aren’t glued on correctly ) and often break off after a while , even without pressure .
Is it normal to break off a bracket? My dentist made me charge a big amount of money becoz of it.
No brackets shouldn’t break and the wire is very weak in the beginning because the line is thinner and more fragile but when you’re further in your treatment the line will get thicker and more resistent and yes orthodontists will charge a ridiculous amound of money if a bracket or wire breaks so avoid sticky and hard foods
after having braces 6 brackets got remove to my teeth😭😭😭so im scared to eat some hard foods and i start to take care my brackets now
Well thanks for the news getting braces don't want them so will do all that u said so they break
JP gaming how did it go???
