Hello:

Brackets play the role of transmitting strength to teeth.

Whether tied to a steel wire or pulled by a rubber band or a spring, the force is transmitted through the bracket.

Therefore, the loss of a bracket will affect the therapeutic effect of at least one tooth. This means that the tooth is "free" during the period without brackets, so it will rebound to its original position, or it can't move, or it can tilt to other positions, which requires a comprehensive balance of power.

However, there is generally no obvious movement change in a short time, so it is recommended to paste it back as soon as possible. Generally, long-term non-treatment will affect the correction time.

There is generally no charge for attaching the bracket back. However, different places have different charging standards.

For example, if the bracket is not reused, that is, a new bracket is stuck back, then there may be a charge, usually 10-30 yuan.
