Braces emergency! (bracket fell out)

Question

I was eating cake and my bracket on the last tooth on the bottom fell out that holds the wire.

The orthodontist isn't opened again untill monday.

What should I do :(!

Will it be OK if its like that for 3 days or so?

Answer 1

You probably don't want to leave it like that. For one thing, it will be very uncomfortable for you. Try calling a local dentist or orthodontist that may be open. Some offices open on weekends and open late. It does not have to be your own orthodontist, just someone who knows how to fix it for you. You just need that bracket re-glued and re-attached to your tooth.

Answer 2

you can always call your orthodontist and see if there's an emergency service or something.

but, i think it should be fine, only tomorrow and then you can go on monday.

some teeth might slightly move, but it's very fixable.

Answer 3

You will be ok until you can see your orthodontist, just clip the wire if it is uncomfortable, the same thing happen to my daughter.

Answer 4

The fact that one bracket fell out will not compromise your orthodontic treatment. It is OK if you stay like this for a few days until your orthodontist comes back. But don't wait a few weeks!

If the bracket is injuring your lip or your cheeks, you can buy orthodontic wax at the pharmacy that you can apply around the bracket and it will not rough anymore.

Answer 5

You could try another orthodontist, but it wont but 3 days wont make your teeth go that bad.
