Their braces were adjusted last visit, and they were instructed on how to wear elastics, but today, the orthodontist notices something unusual: • The arch wire is intact • The brackets are secure • But the patient's teeth haven't shifted at all What might cause the lack of movement? Or Can You Solve This? 🧩 A patient arrives for their monthly orthodontic check-up.
