Braces bracket fell off!!!?

I just got my braces today and 12:00pm and it's now 6:30 I only have eaten ice-cream and a thin chip and while I was brushing my teeth I heard a pop and I looked and a bracket popped off it's not moving around too much but I'm worrierd cause my ortho is only in on Thursday and Fridays and my next oponitemet is may 18 and if I tell my parents the will get mad at me and Only let me eat really soft food like yogurt and apple sauce what should I do and if it helps it's a smaller tooth and the wire goes up to hook on to the bracket!!!!

Answer:

My friend was eating beef jerky (which your not suppose to eat) and her bracket popped off. Don't worry you will survive through the night lol. But just tell your parents and they probably won't have to pay extra because the braces weren't on right. Tell your parents that you were just brushing your teeth and they came off. Your parents can then call your orthodontists place and re-schedule because you don't want it like that for too long or it could do some damage. Hope this helped
If you got your braces today don't worry, sometimes the bracket doesn't bond properly first time, I'd get an appointment to see your regular dentist, they should be able to take the bracket off, so you don't swallow it or anything like that! Then arrange an appointment with your orthodontist asap and they will fix it back on for you! Just be careful when you're eating and you'll be fine!
