I'm having a problem turning my fixed appliance

Please note that it is completely normal to feel resistance when turning the appliance.  

If problems with turning appear after insertion, it could be a hygiene issue, with some tartar build-up on the threads of the screw. This may happen if the patient needs to clean the appliance better.
