how do you recycle an orthodontic bracket?

Remove it.  Clean it with an ultrasonic Scaler if possible.  and then throw it in the autoclave.  re-use as needed, \n\nBut why would you want to?  It cost more in labor than the actual bracket.  \n\nGood luck

The best way at home is to use denture cleaner...the cleaner does not necess. get rid of everything though! So, to get the retainer absolutely clean, take it to your dentis/orthodontist where they can clean it in a machine called a "ultrasonic"...it is a machine that contains very strong cleaner and produces fast movement...it is similar to a jewelry cleaner machine that is in a jewelry store!

I would recommend to go to your general dentist and have a professional cleaning done.  Often, the instruments in which I use safely remove orthodontic cement.

First start by looking at one. \nThen think about what the individual pieces look like,and what waste materials could replace them.

Can you be a little more specific? Did you mean replacing a tooth without man made materials?

There are three options.  I'll list them from most risky (but nicest finish) solution to lest expensive.\n\n1.  Remove the bridge (yes, even permanently cemented bridges can often be removed.  They remove it by one of two methods.  The first is by using a tool called a crown and bridge remover.  They hook an attachment under the edge of the bridge and tap it to try to break the cement.  The other method is to drill a small hole in the top of the bridge and use a different type of crown remover which goes into the hole and lifts the bridge upward from the inside, again breaking the cement.  These methods are not always successfully, and occasionally cause the bridge to break.)  One the bridge is off, they send it back to the laboratory where more porcelain is added to the area where the "black" metal edge is exposed.    Another risk is taken when they place the bridge into the oven - and the porcelain is fired to "cure"it.  Occasionally the bridge could shatter due to imperfections in the porcelain. If all of the risky things work for your benefit, you are left with a perfectly repaired bridge that is re-cemented.\n\nSecond option, use bonding (white filling) and cover the metal.  This can be done, but only with the right layering.  Most dentists do not have the right materials to do it.  Metal and composite don't bond so they have to put a layer in the middle to make it work.  Again, this is risky because it will often break and the white material fall off.  \n\nThird, if it is not in the front, then just leave it alone and don't show anyone.  The metal is a good thing in the back near the gumline.  Gum tissue likes a very thin edge to lay against and form a barrier to keep bacteria away from the roots of the teeth.  When a crown of bridge ends with porcelian, it is thick and the gum tissue doesn't like it very much.  In the molars and orther back teeth, we like to leave the metal margin to allow the gums to be healthier.  It isn't really black, it is polished shiney silver.  It only looks black in the mouth because there is not much light.  So,percieved problem may not be a problem at all, but something to help you.  \n\nNow - if it is in the front of your mouth - we almost always use a porcelian margin for cosmetic purposes.  What may have occured is the gum tissue may have resporbed just a little, and might grow back since it was not long ago.

No! Just call your Ortho and get it fixed. As everyone said they use a special type of "glue" to hold the brackets onto your teeth with a blue light--the same procedure used when you were getting your braces put on. If you use this glue I know they are gonna have a hard time taking that bracket off once your braces need to come off--and it probably wont come off.

Here's a link for annealing copper wire.  I don't know if that's what you want.

Oh u can have a dentist send them to a lab and get them cleaned and polished to look great in no time. You may even be able to take them yourself. I work at a lab and its easy to make them look good again. Check with a nearby dr or see if there might be a dental lab in your area.
