“Brackets coming loose?”
I’ve had braces for almost a year now, and I still struggle to keep my brackets on. They always fall off during my sleep, and I always have to call my dentist to put them back in. Why do my brackets always fall on in my sleep? How can I avoid this from happening in the future? (note: I don’t grind my teeth when I sleep)

Likely a habit that caused debonding. Unlikely poor technique or adhesive.
There could be several reasons:
1. Your bracket may be too close to the opposing teeth. Try a building up or reposition the bracket.
2. The glue used may be contaminated before it is cured.
