Wire too short in my braces...next ortho app. oct 6th...help?!


Question: Wire too short in my braces!.!.!.next ortho app!. oct 6th!.!.!.help!?
Yeah, I think my orthodontist cut my wire too short (about a month ago) and the wire just popped out today!. My next appointment isn't until Oct and they're booked until then!. What should I do!? I can't eat with the wire like this, and I've tried putting it back into place!. Should I clip it!? It's just my back molar!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had the exact same thing happen this summer!. The wire came out when I was on a plane going to Alabama! It was sooo inconvient, because I couldn't go to my ortho even if I wanted to!. So after messing with it for about half an hour in a bathroom on the airplane, I got it to go in, but every couple days it'd come back out!. I told my mom about a week later, and we just called the orthodonist and I got a new wire!. So calling ortho would probably be the best thing to do, because sadly there's not really much you can do about it by yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

oh, that sucks!. I had that same problem when I had my braces!. I'm so happy I don't have them anymore!. BUT even though it sucks when you have them, the final product is sooo awesome braces are 100% worth it! :) Anyway, to fix the problem did you orthodontist give you wax!? You just dry the area where the wire is broken and stick the wax over top!. I don't know how you will do with eating and having the wax on top but I know that you will stop trying to play with the wire and it wont dig into your cheek! :) If you dont have wax, I'm pretty sure you can go to Wal-Mart or something and they will have dental wax there!
Hope this works!
P!.S!. my birthday is October 6th! Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most orthodontists allow you to come in real quick for something like that!. Just go in and explain what happened!. They will probably fix it there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
