First, I have braces, been on for like a year now, and I've been cleaning my teeth at least twice a day. About two weeks ago, my middle front tooth on the top had like a little "dip" in it, or. . .a chip, in the center, like of the outer most layer, and then, the teeth next to it started doing the same thing but closer to the root. Today, its about 5 or 6 teeth, and when I brush, it tends to chip more pieces off. I use a soft brissel tooth brush and have been doing it as light as I can, I can't get this to stop. I don't have dental insurance so I would like to know what this would be called, so I can look up the best plan for me, and what it costs per tooth to fix.

That sounds serious. You should definitely get to a dentist or doctor ASAP. Are you taking any new medicine? I remember reading somewhere that certain medications can (sometimes) cause dental problems. Braces are not causing this problem. But if you are not using the special flossing loop to get underneath your braces, you may have tartar buildup. In time, that leads to tooth decay.
