Ceramic Braces- My Bracket Broke!
This month has been kind of hectic with my ceramic braces, so want to share with you what has happened over the past month. Two weeks ago, I was eating a tiny sliver of an apple slice when I felt something in my mouth crack. At first I thought the apple got caught onto my braces, so I immediately checked if there was any piece of the apple stuck in the wires. I had broken my braces before while eating an apple (although it was a small slice), so when I realized that there was no apple stuck in them, I ran to a mirror to check if anything was broken on my braces. Sure enough, the bottom left molar bracket cracked in half!
I told my mom about my cracked bracket and she called the orthodontist to schedule an appointment to fix it. Unfortunately, the orthodontist was completely booked that week and the only after-school appointment available was on a Monday in two weeks.
I had to wait two weeks with a broken bracket until I went to the orthodontist, but at least my bracket would eventually get fixed! During that two week period, my teeth began to throb and it felt like the whole bottom row of my teeth was loose! Luckily, after a few days the pain subsided and my teeth felt much better.
After two weeks with a broken bracket, it was time to go to the orthodontist! In the exam room, the orthodontist assistant had asked me, “Did you eat something sticky or hard? Brackets are pretty hard to break!” “Sometimes,” was the only answer I was able to muster up because I was so scared I would get in trouble! While I was mentally preparing myself for the assistant to scold me for breaking my bracket, she was actually really nice about it and just told me to be more careful with my braces. I had also asked her about the throbbing pain I had in my teeth and she had told me that it was probably because my teeth were shifting from the braces. I guess that meant that the braces were doing their job! 🙂 The assistant later replaced my cracked bracket with a brand new one! Hooray, no more cracked bracket!

Lesson learned:
Be super-duper-ultra cautious when you are eating apples!
