Go to your orthodontist and get it put back on properly. You're paying your orthodontist (or at least your parents are); he's not paying YOU, so he has no right to get angry. If he does, then 1) he's very unprofessional and 2) you should tell your parents (or whoever is paying for it) - it's their money until HE earns it.

Don't superglue it. You'll run into problems with your teeth, especially when the brackets are ready to come off. You could accidently use too much and glue something else, just think of gluing your mouth shut. That would be embarrassing to explain. Go back to your ortho.

Go back to the ortho. They are not mad. People often have loose braces when they're first getting used to them. Don't use superglue, it won't work for long. Also, you can put the bracket back on in the wrong place and really screw up your tooth.

no do not use superglue. just leave it until you can get back to the office. not only can you mess up your tooth, the glue can be toxic. call them and tell them you have a loose bracket so they can schedule accordingly. just remember not to play with your braces because if its a chronic problem, you could get a doctor that charges you for repairs.

Do not use super glue, or elmers glue, or a glue stick! This will result in teeth discoloration and possibly poisoning. They probably didn't glue them very well, and they probably won't mind replacing it. Plus, if you're in school you'll probably get to leave school for your oppointment.
The doctor will understand. He's probably seen worse.

Don't try to glue it yourself! And don't worry about the doctor being mad,I'm sure they run into this all the time. And try not to play with the brackets from now on.

DON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT YOURSELF!!!
I know, I know. I had braces too. They won't get mad, kids do it all the time. Just fess up to your mom, go back to the ordodontist, and get your teeth fixed properly.
Besides being toxic, superglue would "gum up the works," so to speak. I guarentee you they'll notice that.
