My braces brake every month for the last 3 months. is it me or am i doing something wrong?

2 reasons: It may be your occlusion, your bite may be knocking braces loose. It may also be your diet, hard/sticky/chewy foods (gum, bagels, ice, hard candy, raw carrots, etc) can break braces. If you are seeing a qualified orthodontic specialist return for evaluation of your bite and for food instructions. Good luck.

Took braces off 4.5 years ago. Used to put a retainer every night. I lost my retainer 2 weeks ago and my doc can book me in within 20 days. Will my teeth move? it will probably be a month - 2months without a retainer. Will I need braces again?
Had braces for 2 months. Every time there is major movement (closing gaps), four of my gums get irritated and bleed. I send scans to my dr every week. She compliments how clean my teeth are. Why are my gums so irritated? Same gums every time?
