Braces (Bracket) fell off while I'm on vacation?

Question

I can't get my bracket glued back on because I'm in California and my Ortho. is in Minnesota. I'm coming back on the 14th of August, so it'll be at least 2 weeks before I can get an appointment.

Will this affect my teeth in any major way? Can I do anything?

Answer 1

Call your Ortho and tell them.  Go ahead and set up an appointment for after you get back.  there really isn't anything you can do while away.

Answer 2

whats the worst that can happen? the braces dont do anything and your teeth stay as they are...

is there an emergency dentist you can see?

else, just keep everything clean and wait til you're back

Answer 3

well how many? Were? Nd is the wire still on? I broke one of mine and they never put it back on. It was towards the back so yea. if 1-2 its not a big deal.

Answer 4

2 weeks will not make a difference.  Call your Ortho and make an appt now so you can go as soon as you get home.
