Brace is Knocked During Sport or While Eating

Braces are attached to teeth with a special adhesive and tend to sit in the middle of your teeth

If a brace is knocked during sport or while eating a hard food, the attachment to the tooth will fail. This is often first noticed when brushing and the brace appears off of center on the tooth

A visit to the orthodontist is necessary to repair this type of problem. Occasionally, the brace is rotated on the wire and sticks out into the lip

Again tweezers may be used to correct this problem. First slide the brace so that it is in between two teeth. Then push the brace around and back up against the tooth.
