No! Just call your Ortho and get it fixed. As everyone said they use a special type of "glue" to hold the brackets onto your teeth with a blue light--the same procedure used when you were getting your braces put on. If you use this glue I know they are gonna have a hard time taking that bracket off once your braces need to come off--and it probably wont come off.

No do not use super glue. Use the dental wax he gave you or if you don't have any pick some up where ever the dental supplies are in your store such as flossers. Not sure what time it is where you are but you if you can still call the ortho office today do so and if not just call first thing in the morning. Just an FYI but your ortho should have given you instructions on what to do if a bracket comes loose.

I wouldn't recommend it. The glue used on braces is a special type of glue. If you use super-glue the bracket will most likely be permanently stuck on. See your ortho ASAP.

Yes, you can. Super glue was originally formulated as a dental adhesive but had to be scrapped because human saliva compromised it's integrity. That's when the product was offered for use in dry environments such as crafts and porcelain repairs.

IF THE BRACKET IS LOOSE, THE RUBBER BAND ATTACHING IT TO THE WIRE WILL KEEP YOU FROM LOSING IT UNTIL YOU SEE YOUR ORTHODONTIST.
SUPERGLUE SHOULD NEVER BE TRIED TO RE-CEMENT A LOOSE BRACKET.
