I went back to the orthodontist today. The wire broke right next to the tooth where they attached the hook on the bottom left side. I only noticed this as the rubber band would get pulled through where it was broken. When I went to remove the rubber band, I found the wire going through the rubber band. I tried to figure out how the wire got routed through the rubber band. When I pulled the rubber rand, it came back through the break in the wire. I noticed this on a Friday. I called the orthodontist, but found their office closed on Fridays. I didn’t think it was an emergency or anything, so I waited til money.
I called then first thing this morning. I told them the wire broke, and they got me in at 10am. At the office, I tried to explain how the wire broke. But they couldn’t see it. I show her where the break was, and she still couldn’t see it. She wanted me to point to right where the break was. A little frustrated, I detached the rubber band from the button on the top. The rubber band was around the wire. I told her where the rubber band was is where the break was. She poked it with the tool, and figured out there really was a break in the wire. They replaced the wire and I went back to work..
