i work at an orthodontist office, i see this all the time.

as long as you are comfortable it can definatly wait till tuesday. if its hurting you then you should go in sooner. it will be a really quick appointment to fix it, i see this at my office all the time.


also, to prevent this from creating a sore, put some wax on it. it will keep it from poking you.

it hurts the inside o my mouth when that hapens to me. try to cut it off if you have t wait for your appt.

Don't wait!!! you could damage it even more. Call them and tell them, or walk in to the dental office. They will fix it.

You should wait. Tampering around with it might just make it worse, and they'll more than likely charge you with a fee if it worsens.

I'd call for an emergency appt. I had a brace that came off one time and it was agonizing before I was able to see the orthodontist.
It may be comfortable right now, but your teeth will begin to shift before Tuesday and then they'll hurt. Also, the wire may start to gouge into your cheek before then.
