I have braces and i was wondering if there is any way you can tell if you broke something like a bracket or made something loose.....just wandering if you can feel it or something?

if you broke a bracket, you can slide it back and forth.
if you broke a metal band, youll be able to push it up and down and youll see your tooth. or the braacket on the band will entirely come off the band.
if your archwire popped out, youll probably feel it poking against your cheek.
hheh. thats all the info i know cause thats what i broke. xD

It depends on the type of braces. Typically the band itself is difficult to break BUT it is possible to have the bracket come off the tooth. In those cases yes you can feel it be loose.

If you broke a bracket you'll be able to slide it across the wire by pushing it with your finger

You would know if anything broke, brackets usually will come off, if you break a wire you would know, cause it would poke you.

Yeah, first you'll hear it then you'll feel it. Take a good look and feel around your teeth and if you think you broke something see your orthodontist.
