I don't think you should worry about it. I highly doubt that two days will make a difference. If it's really bothering you, push the spacer back in as much as you can and then get a narrow and long object like a toothpick or the edge of your toothbrush and push the spacer back in place with it. (This worked for me when mine fell out) Good luck.

If it really concerns you, how about calling your orthodontist's office this Monday when the office will probably be open for patients. The receptionist can perhaps ask your orthodontist if it is ok that it was pulled out by accident or whatnot and then tell you if you should get another spacer put back in and wait a couple more days for the braces or not.

It doesnt matter if you pull it out or if it fall out. If you are getting them off anyway on tuesday, it wont make no diference. However, you might feel a little disconfort, so you might want to go to your dentist on monday. Anyways, dont worry about it!
Hope this answer your question!

try sliding it in with a tweezer, if you can't then that's fine, they'll still be able to fit the ring over your tooth, it's very thin, i didn't even need the spacers for my top molar! don't worry, but if it really seems tight and is bothering you then call the office and ask them what they think, you may need it replaced if it's really that bad.

That's okay what happened is covered under fall out. Don't worry about it

If it's just one then I think you'll be ok.
