So ive had my braces on for about 3 weeks. My next visit is next friday. Now today I was eating and I broke my bottom wire. I dont know how but it broke and its loose where my molar is. Should I call my ortho and get it fixed or just wait until next week for my next visit.

That happened to me too. My Dad fixed it with pliers but I dont recommend that! Call your Orthodonist and make an appointment to get it fixed ASAP. For now, tuck it behind the brackets so it wont stick out.

Call the Ortho and get if fixed. If you do not, your teeth will not be progressing or gaining anything until it is fixed. And as you do so, you may not need to have the regular appointment at your next visit.

I would call him and ask him. He may say to wait until your appointment or he may tell you to see him right away. Let him tell you what to do as he will know whats best.
