Regarding my dental braces
I have braces from 2 years but after that my 3 metal brackets fall off and because of some reason i coundn't able to reach dentist for 3 months but when i reached i saw new dentist as old is replaced and she took new metal brackets just in few minutes and i was suprised to see that all 3 brackets are fall of in just 3 days as i ate only soft food,the more suprising part is that when i went to the dentist with that 3 brackets she said it cannot be fix back as it is fill with cement,so my question is that what is the use off metal braces if it cannot be fixable?or is it any procedure to remove cement from metal bracket?

HI
Yes inorder to refix it that cement needs to be removed and the old metal bracket should be sandblasted for better retention....That sanblasting also should be done for 2 to 3 times only...after that if you break frequenly new brackets only needs to be placed
