Orthodontic(braces) treatment
I have had braces for 11 months which are going to be removed in a week or so. I did not go for extraction despite strong push by my doctor. A month ago, I broke two brackets that is 2 teeth behind the canine(I had potruded canines) . But they are moving in their place stuck in the wire . I could not show it to the doctor becoz he was out of town then. My teeth seem to be slightly out of alignment( or I feel so), should I go ahead with the treatment or get my braces out. Is it the brackets cemented in place or the wire that affects the alignment. When I went to show the doctor he said it was fine , the brackets didn't matter and he gave me a date for removal. Does this compromise my treatment? Now I do not feel satisfied , I feel my teeth looked better when the brackets were in place and they became misaligned when my brackets came off.

As you didn't undergo extraction.. It wouldn't be necessary for re bonding brackets.. This is what your doctor felt may be... And it is the brackets of back teeth.. And doesn't interfere with your normal smile.. It wasn't necessary to rebound..

Better ask your orthodontist if you need to extract now.. Or you want to bond the brackets again.. And doesn't matter for you to extend treatment time.. Is better option I feel

Bracket breakage does cause alignment issues.. it's better to refix the broken brackets and realign teeth if they are found to have shifted out of alignment...
