orthodontists generally say not to worry about seeing them for something like that unless its really bothering you!.
so the question is: is it really bothering you!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

I broke a bracket about two months ago, and even after appts, they STILL haven't put it back on! If the loose brackets aren't bothering you, then just wait!. If they're bothering you, take a clean pair of nail clippers and clip the wire on both sides of each bracket, and take it out!. My orthodontist said that this is safe to do, just as long as the remaining wire ends don't poke your cheek badly!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
generally, if the problem is not causing pain then your ortho will tell you to wait until your appointment!. a call telling them the problem will take care of it!.!.!.she won't be annoyed!.!.!.she'll be glad that you are keeping up with these things!. (now, HOW the brackets got loose may be another story!.!.!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com
call the orthodontist and ask what to do!. I vaguely recall being told just to wait until the appointment!. I broke two brackets and snapped the wire on a cruise and waited untill the next appointment so that is probably your best betWww@Answer-Health@Com
