Posts tagged “Broken braces”

Hello, I was given my STB lingual braces only five days ago and I’ve managed to break the brackets already. The thing is I grind my teeth a lot, but it’s not like I do it on purpose obviously, and it’s even worse when I’m sleeping. I didn’t mention anything because number one) I thought the orthodontist would have noticed anyway without me having to say and number two) i thought if they knew i grinded my teeth then i wouldn’t receive the braces in the first place but I really wanted them…what should i do to solve this problem? am I going to have to pay for a new set? thank you!
