What Could Be The Black Dots On Teeth Braces?

I am 13 years old and 3 weeks ago I got braces on my bottom teeth and a top expander. I went to brush my teeth before i went to bed and when I when I am done I always examine my teeth to see if anything is lose or broken. Today I noticed on 3 of the brackets on my right side on the lower right corner of the bracket had a black dot on it that I had not noticed before. It is worrying me because I am afraid I have done something wrong. What are these black dots?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would suggest you to maintain an extremely clean oral hygiene during the treatment also go for periodic scaling and polishing in course of your treatment, take antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Take care!
