Answer 3

My spacers fell out too, and when that happened I called my orthodontist and explained the situation. I can't remember what happened as a result of that, but you should let your ortho know before the appointment and ask for his advice.

It'll be okay, just calm down and understand that these things happen sometimes, and your orthodontist has probably dealt with this before. He should have some useful advice for you, or he may schedule a closer appointment. The worst that can happen is you'll need to wait a bit longer.
