Did you ever have braces break?

Braces: Yes. All mam made things can break. Clear braces are more prone to breakage than metal ones.

Yes: Braces are somewhat fragile. Any untoward force, such as hard, sticky, or chewy food, or trauma (not wearing mouth guard when playing contact sport) can cause damage. If braces are broken, see your orthodontist immediately.

It can happen!: During the course of our daily lives, we put our teeth through a lot of forces! the eating and chewing of hard, chewy, or crunchy food in addition to extreme external forces (such as sports or trauma) can all increase the risk of breakages of braces. By following the diet instructions given by your orthodontist & by using sports mouth-guards, you can greatly lessen the risk of broken braces.

Yes, they can: Broken orthodontic braces can be dislodged from the surfaces of the teeth by a number of factors such as chewing on hard foods, candies, chewking on pens or pencils, or picking at the braces. It is important to call this to your orthodontist's attention immediately to affect repairs and avoid delays in treatment.

Rarely: If you mean the actual bracets, the amount of force would be pretty significant to break them, but i suppose it can happen-- just unusual.
