Q:i was eating, and my wire popped out of my bracket. its the very back tooth and there's no teeth in front of it until it reaches the front teeth, because i had to get teeth pulled for the braces. and my orthodontist wont be there until tuesday, because of holidays.what do i do? should i just put a piece of wax on it?will it damage my teeth moving process?

I'd call your orthodontist tomorrow so they can make sure that it is replaced correctly so it can work right. In the meantime you can use some orthodontal wax if the wire is sticking the side of your mouth.

Q:I never understood why some sentences have brackets, when you regularly read the sentence as if there is nothing there.For example: Lenny and Carl are very good friends, and [whether they're gay] depends on the show part of the joke is you think they are, and then they talk about their girlfriends.Does that mean someone reworded the sentence from the original source to fit the context more easily or something?

Brackets are used to fill in information that makes it easier for the reader to understand. Like in interviews, they can't put every single thing in so they use brackets to put in phrases or words so the reader can understand what is bring talked about.

Q:I am getting a Shimano 105 crank, and don't know what size bottom bracket to get for it. It is an english thread, but they come in 110 113?

There have been several generations of 105 cranksets over the years. If your crankset is a modern 5600 or 5700 series, then the bottom bracket spindle is integrated into the right crank arm. You don't choose a spindle width. The bottom bracket consists of two bearing cups through which the spindle is inserted. The 5500 series uses an octalink bottom bracket. You choose either the 109mm for a double crank or the 118 for a triple. The early 7/8 speed 105 cranks (1055/1056/1057) used square taper spindles. On these, you choose the width that gives you a good chainline. For a road bike with a double crank and 43.5 chainline, you'd probably choose a 113mm (1055) or 107/110 (1056). For a triple (1057) with a 45mm chainline, you'd probably need a 118mm spindle.

Q:I dunno, I'm worried one of mine is broken. Nothing looks or feels out of the ordinary. Is there a distinct thing that shows a bracket is broken?

brackets don't actually break like in half. When someone says they're broken a bracket, it means it got loose. You will be able to feel it move around with your tongue Basically, you will know when the happens. If nothing looks or feels out of the ordinary, it means it's fine

Q:he put on the brackets but didn't put on the brace. he did everything to the bottom teeth. has anyone had this happen to them before? also there is still glue on my front teeth. will it come off with time and brushing? how long will it take. it looks yuckie.

I had a lot of teeth with just brackets for the first week. Because of the fact i previously had teeth pulled and my mouth was still overcrowded. A week later i went back and they put the wire on. But usually they just put a couple of brackets on not the whole bottom row without a wire. Did they not tell you why they did that? And yes the glue will come off eventually after brushing

Q:i just got braces on tuesday and i was brushing my teeth just now, when i noticed a black spot on the front of a bracket???? like maybe the silver peeled off or something i dont know.what is it? is it bad? lol no its not on the wire, i know why that spot is there from when they marked it. and also can i really not chew gum? what does it do if u do? thanksss a bunch

I'm not really sure what it is but if it helps i have one as well. ) Also I have had braces for almost two years and I chew gum all the time. It doesn't do anything to them but you have to brush a little better to get it all off. There are only two things that I have had pull a bracket of 1. Now and Laters and 2. Tootsie pops (but thats only because I bite them) )

Q:I know this question is asked a lot, but the answer is never clear enough for me to tell!Assume that I have an adjusted income (from our salaries) of 70k- I know that I am in the 15% ordinary tax bracket for married filing jointly.If I sell stock and have a long-term capital gain of $50k, what happens?Will that push my ordinary tax bracket over 15%? (i.e. will that bump me into a higher tax bracket?) or to put it another way, since the 15% tax bracket is up to 73k, does that mean I can only have gains of $3k before I will be pushed into a higher tax bracket and have to pay 15% capital gains?Or will my ordinary tax bracket stay the same regardless of how much stock I sell? (that doesn't seem likely, though!)thanks! looking for an accountant now to explain things better, too.This is for the US.

If you follow the law by reporting it properly, then only the gain counts towards your AGI. If you don't report the sale, then you are breaking the law, and all of the money you get for the stock (not just the gain) counts towards you AGI. In either case, the gain counts. The difference is whether it's only the gain or it's everything. And there may be a penalty for not reporting it.

Q:i need help on this one.! i really don't know how

Go to irs . pull up 1040ES. pull up 1040ez. Then for different taxable incomes calculate the tax. As you have more income, you move into a higher tax bracket for the NEXT dollar you owe.

Q:How much does the IRS tax individuals? Can someone break it down into categories so I can get a better idea. I believe I am getting tax around 20% as a part time student. How does the TAX refund or owing works in the end of the year? Do people get taxes twice?
