Hello Dear, It is quite common that while braces treatment, roots of tooth hurt. This is because tooth moves while this treatment and it creates pressure on the root. Braces break because of excessive pressure directly on braces, avoid eating something hard like candies, nuts etc. Visit your orthodontist as early as your bracket breaks.
