i ate one of my new braces brakets!!

wow...one week with braces and i'm already having mishaps.  i was eating dinner tonight and took a bite of very thick crust bread.  i noticed that it was really hard at one point and thought i might have chipped my tooth.  well, i got home and noticed that the very last molar didn't have a bracket anymore...they hadn't connected any of my last molars to the wires because of spacing, etc, but i wasn't expecting to be able to just break it off.  and i ate it!!  do you think that my cost of getting braces covers missing brackets??  i can't believe i have a metal bracket floating around my intestines right now.

Re: i ate one of my new braces brakets!!

  • Oh No! That horrible! You wouldn't think that it would just break off like that, but didn't they give you a list of things NOT to eat? :)

    I hope it comes out and doesn't cause any problems for you. GL

  • Man thats uncomfortable knowing that the bracket is floating around in your body.  LOL.  I am sure the insurance covers mishaps.  This should be expected especially since it was not connected to a wire.  Good Luck

  • Mine would pop off whenever I would get the urge to eat something my dr told me NOT to eat =/ -- then again, mine were connected to the wire by that point, so I didn't have any floaters ;)

    I'm sure the dr's seen it before, so it shouldn't be anything to be too worried about -- and to answer your Q: yes, i do think it's covered. GL!

  • LOL!!! That's funny..but sorry it happened to you.  But like Nikki said, mine too would pop off all the time.  So much that once the Dr told me if they kept popping off then they were going to have to start charging me.  I must of been there at least once a week to get that fixed. 
  • LOL oh no! Dont worry they are covered. happened to me all the time
  • Oh no. Im sorry chica. Im sure you will be fine.

  • LOL! Don't feel bad, it happens. When I was little I actually swallowed my molar while eating a potatoe chip, go fig. I remember when I had braces they covered up to a certain amount of brackets and then they started charging. So don't eat anymore!
