Unsticked bracket in my braces!!!?

Question

I'm just having my braces for about 2 weeks now and the back tooth of mine the bracket became unsticked! since i live in a small town i have a 2 hr drive to my dentist but my parents are working should i wait for my next appointment so they can fix it? which is in another month i really want to wait for the appointment because i ddon'twant to trouble my parents so what should i do to keep it stable until then?

Answer 1

The best thing to do in that situation is call your orthodontist and schedule the earliest possible appointment. The longer you wait to get them fixed the more time your teeth have to move around from there intended places. It took me 2 years to figure out that this was the best way. From all my broken brackets over the year and managed to tack on an extra year to my sentence >_<

Answer 2

omg! i have the same problem. well i am gettting mine fixed in 3 weeks lol it is not a big deal. u should tell your parents to simply call the dentist and ask about it. thats what i did and they said as long as it is not causing u any pain u can wait a while. there is not much you can do to keep it stable. just dont eat ANY hard things so that u dont make it worse. and i dont think it would trouble ur parents much. try going on the weekend. or if not wait. it wont do harm.

Answer 3
