Question:

Braces: Broken bracket?

I only have top braces right now, but the braces on the tooth alllll the way in the back of the right side of my mouth seems to have a broken bracket. It doesn't hurt or anything, but I feel it poke my cheek occasionally. I have an orthodontist appt in a few weeks anyhow, but should I call sooner? Is it bad to just leave it alone? Please gimme an answer!

Answer:

call. if u dont it can delay the time you wear braces for
Well because it Is the weekend just get some pliers if the wire has totally come off and pull it off until you go fortify emergency appointment
Here's what my orthodontist had to say about loose bands/brackets: If band or bracket is still attached to wire, leave in place. If uncomfortable, place wax on it. If it comes out completely, wrap band or bracket in tissue. Call us during regular office hours. Hope this helps.
