Question

A wire on my braces broke and I cant get to my orthodontist because I am in another country. What should I do?

Answer 1

wow that sucks big time

um, do is there a dentist or orthodontist available there?

if there is not then i dont really know what else you can do. but i think you can try to find a orthodontist there.  

Answer 2

Try to find a dentist to get you a temporary fix.

Answer 3

See if you can go to a local dentist for a temporary fix. Or if you can wait it out, take some of your wax, and kind of encase the broken end so that it doesn't cause you any irritation.  

Answer 4

Nudge it back in place with some wax.

Answer 5

its not a big deal. you should get it fixed as soon as you get back to your country because if you let it go too long it can move your teeth and you would have to wear braces longer. its not a big deal if it isnt bothering you, but try to get it fixed asap.

Answer 6

You need brace wax.  Try the drug store where you are, or call a local orthodontists office they may have some they can give you.  If you have wire cutters you can also cut the broken wire if its bad enough but I would try the wax first.
