Today the rubber bumper came off again (second time). Hopefully I can see the ortho tomorrow to get the bumper replaced otherwise the inside of my cheek will be totally raw from the archwire rubbing into it.

How can I prevent the rubber bumper from coming off. It's over the archwire that runs between the space where I am missing a pre-molar and a molar).

    Talk to your ortho about this. A couple of ways I've seen this done, are to to put a 'stop' on the archwire to prevent the tubing moving and another is to bend the end of the archwire so that the tube can't pass over it.

    Good luck!
