I just got braces about 3 weeks ago and one of the brackets on my braces are loose. My next orthodontist appointment is coming up it will be on Monday which is December 5, so should I just wait until then to get it fixed?? I mean tomorrow is Thanksgiving so the place will definitely be closed. Would a loose bracket result in longer treatment?? What if a bracket falls off? Is it normal/typical for brackets to be loose in a while for everyone (because I wasn't even eating anything hard and suddenly it got loose). Sorry if I'm asking too many questions! But please help!!
Brackets occasionally come off. One (or even 2) isn't going to set you back. Call your orthodontist. (December 5 is a Thursday, by the way) They may want to see you earlier than your scheduled appointment. Even if they don't, it's nice to let them know ahead of time that you have something that will need repaired.
You should go now before it damages you somehow .
