Hi ok f/13

so i got braces this summer and since them they have had to fix 4 braces that came off. Now he yelled at me and said this was very uncommon and that i was doing it it was noithng he did. Now i have an appoitment and for more of my braces came of in like a half year period is this noraml. im scared to go bac hes gonna yell alot! please help

Ooh don't worry!! Mine did it all the time, I began to think I was cursed or something!! The wire kept coming out of the brackets at the back. It's because your teeth are moving so much (and also my ortho is crap lol) I've had mine on for a year and a half now and after about 4 months they stopped doing it. In the meantime you can ask to change orthodontist or be seen by another one, or say a friend told you the same thing happened to them and it's because your teeth move so quick :) Whatever happens, DON'T let him yell at you! Tell your parents, they shouldn't stand for it. It's horrible and you shouldn't have to put up with it!!
Best of luck, and see if you can get some 'braces wax' too...you can put it on the wire at the back when it sticks out and stuff so it doesn't hurt until you can get another appointment :)
