I know its not the answer you want, but sometimes the answer we don't want to hear is the answer we NEED to hear.
Call your orthodontist. Only he/she can re-attatch the appliance correctly and safely. If you try to do it yourself, you may cause damage by moving your teeth incorrectly or using a toxic adhesive. Be smart and safe and call your ortho.

Honestly Katie, you want to consult an orthodontist or other professional. There are plenty of adhesives that you could use to make it stick, but many of them may be corrosive to your teeth, or toxic if ingested. Unfortunately, this is not something you want to figure out through trial and error.
That said, you might look into Fixadent, which is dental adhesive for people with dentures. I am not certain whether or not this is corrosive to real teeth. Go to Walgreens and consult your pharmacist. Tell him or her that you can't get in to see your dentist for several days and you need a patch for the time being.

apply super glue remover and start over. If its that important to you to have a messed up mouth and not use a dentist well then you get what you deserve. I dont want ten points either, How childish is that and your remark about your statement. Does your mommy know you are using her computer? PS call your Dentist

if you take hot water and run it under the glue should dissolve. there will be a rough patch where the glue was left but if you go to the dentist they can file it down and smooth them out. good luck

Reread the box you got it out of. IT should have the remedy to dissolve the glue. If it's not on the box, they will have an 800 number to call.
If they don't...then use a Q-Tip with peroxide.

Use as hot of a liquid as possible. Hot water will soften the glue...hopefully.
