That happens all the time!. The wire will stay there!. Dont worry about it, it happened to me plenty of times!. They will just put another on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's fine, it isn't bad at all, and they won't be angry!. If it's a middle bracket, your wire will most likely be fine, it'll definitely make it through til tomorrow, just watch what you eat!. If it's the back bracket, the wire might pop out!.!.!.gently push it back in so it doesn't cut your cheek, and put some of the wax they gave you over it!. Don't worry, it happens often, and you probably would have been getting your elastics changed tomorrow anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Happens all the time! Don't worry, they're used too it!. Just as long as it doesn't become a habit and it didn't happen because you ate sticky foods you aren't supposed to!.
If it is poking you put some of the dental wax on it to hold it down!. ( the wax in the package from your orthodontist) It is also sold at the drug store!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Trust me it is no big deal!. I am an orthodontic assistant an we usually tell patients not to worry if one comes off!. They would probably be more irritated if you made a special trip just for that one rubber band to be replaced!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
