Uh oh my orthodontist went on vacation! What do I do?!
Question: I just got my braces on today. I have this tooth that's kind of in the front on the bottom off to the right. It's crooked, so the ortho had a hard time connecting the wire to the bracket. So anyways, I was trying to take some dental wax off it today, and the wire totally broke off of the bracket. My ortho is on vacation. Will this affect my mouth? What should I do in the meantime? Thanks.

Call the office anyway... another orthodontist should be on call while yours is away...
