I was eating this oat bar thingy and i noticed one of my wires from my brace was bent and later that day when i tried eating some of my teeth heart abit. A couple of hours later i felt like my tooth move or clicked or something i thought it cracked in half but then i looked in the mirror and my wire was not bent any more and everything looked normal. Now everythings back to normall but im not sure if i should go back to the othadontist or is everyhting fine?? Are my braces loose??? Has this ever happend to you or anyone you know?

It probably got loose and then popped back in. Happened to me before.

Yes, I have braces and this happens occasionally. It's probably just your wire popping out and then popping back in. It could still be loose though, or possibly it could have fixed itself. Usually my wire bends, then it breaks in a few days. So, if you're sure your wire isn't connected to the bracket at the end, then I'd see the orthodontist. But it's not an emergency, you know....But definitely if your teeth continue to hurt, I'd have them check it out.

youve probably had them put on recently.
the braces are moving your teeth, and as the teeth get moved in your jaw, pressure is applied to the brace, this slight tension may ben the wire a bit, the clicking was probably the wire going back to normal as the tooth it was attached to slotted into the correct space.
theyre not loose, your fine

I have experienced this a number of times when i was using braces. Do consult the dentist anyway. Coz 1 out of 10 times, the dentist would say what i bite so hard that the braces became loose.

Happened to me when I was eating olives before.. Just don't eat anything for a while, and your teeth should be fine.. =) I'm done with braces now, good luck!

The wire might be broken, same thing happened to me, check with your orthodontist.

the wire must have moved. the pain is because the teeth are being forced somewhere else. if you dont feel anymore pain then you shoulndt worry bout it

your braces are fine. the wire came partway out of its socket and then popped back in so there is no problem. trust me
