A member asked:
The wire at the back of my braces has come out, is it possible to put it back without the ortho?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad idea: If you put it into a wrong spot, or if you distort the wire, you will lengthen your time in treatment. Call your orthodontic specialist or dentist, whoever placed your appliances, for the correct repair.
