If a Ligature Band comes off…
A ligature is a tiny rubber band stretched around the bracket to hold the wire and deliver force to the teeth to budge them. If in case the ligature ruptures off or comes out, put it back in place with sterile tweezers. In spite of everything if this continues to break subsequently, call your orthodontist for a follow-up visit.

Gently brush your teeth twice a day at least for two minute. If possible, you should brush your teeth every time after you eat or at least rinse your mouth out with water. Floss your teeth under the wires and between the braces thoroughly until they’re clean, as brackets and wires creates place for plaque to hide. Remember to brush your teeth before dozing off.
