What Causes Breakage In Dental Brackets While On Liquid Diet?

Hi, I have started my treatment a month ago.. Since then my brackets broke every week. I know it's not what I'm eating because I have been on a strict soup diet. Another thing... When the assistant placed the bracket on to my teeth. He didn't use the light to bond some of my brackets in place. Do you think that's the reason why it keep braking? Please enlight me with some answers. It's frustrating when they keep thinking it me. I know for a fact it's not. Please give me some advice what to do. Thank you. I would appreciate it very much

Thanks for your query.
I have gone through your query.
The breakage of the brackets can be because of biting on hard things. Since you are telling you are on strict liquid diet, i feel it is because of the improper technique followed to place the brackets. Consult a orthodontist and get it done and not by the assistant.
I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
