If a bracket comes off, you should promptly visit the dental clinic for an examination. If the bracket has detached due to loosening or damage, it may be reattached using dental adhesive or bonding agent. If the bracket is loose or displaced, the dentist may remove the ligature stainless steel wire or elastic ligature, re-etch the tooth surface, and rebond the bracket. If the bracket is damaged, it can be replaced with a new one. Additionally, you should avoid eating excessively hard or sticky foods.
