So its been almost 3 months since getting the upper linguals on and had another adjustment today. I have one tooth that has been my main issue for years due to overcrowding. When I first got the braces put on there was a spring on the tooth instead of an actual bracket in order to make room. Today I had a little Reprox done to shape the tooth, a bracket placed on it and a new wire put in, so finally the tooth should move into place. I really hope it moves quickly cause of the awkward spaces between my 2 front teeth and the tooth next to it which is the one that needs to move the most.

Unfortunately,about an hour or so after leaving the ortho, the bracket unbonded itself, and I had to go back. So now im worried that it can come off easily. The other thing is the wire in the back is kind of poking at my tongue even though it felt fine for a while after I left the ortho. I really dont feel like going back just for them to turn in the wire more. Has anyone successfully turned in the end of their wire more themselves? I still have wax left but I dont want to have to constantly re-apply it
