It depends on what you mean by "bands".
The colored "bands", called o-ties, hold the wire into your brackets and aid in the movement of your teeth. At this point in your treatment it's not a huge deal, but if you can pop into the office one day and let them replace it, you probably should. I'm pretty sure this is what you are talking about.
Molar bands are the silver ring around your back teeth. If that is loose it needs to be fixed ASAP to keep food from getting trapped in it and causing a cavity.

tell your parents, they will take you back to the dentists to get it replaced, better to do now, so your teeth can straighten otherwise waste of parents hard earned dollars

Put some of that wax that your orthodontist gives you on it and then make an appointment to see him.
