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!

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
