How To Fix a Broken Bracket on Dental Braces | Taft Hill Orthodontics

If you have a broken bracket on your dental braces, the first step is to stay calm, as this issue is quite common and can usually be resolved easily.

Assess whether the bracket is completely detached or just loose; if it's still attached but not functioning properly, try to avoid putting pressure on that part.

To prevent further discomfort or damage, stick to soft foods. It's important to contact Taft Hill Orthodontics as soon as possible to schedule a repair appointment; we can also provide guidance on what to do in the meantime. If the broken bracket is causing irritation to your mouth, you can use orthodontic wax or a small piece of gauze to cover it until your appointment.

Be sure to attend your appointment so the bracket can be properly repaired or replaced.
