We make every effort to be certain your appliance is secure and comfortable. Your appliance is made of the strongest material available and bonded as securely as it can be. Please DO NOT subject your appliance/braces to anything other than normal force. No appliance, braces or bonding agent can withstand prying or bending forces. However, accidents can happen and we have some suggestions to help you if you have a problem between appointments.
