You have to put in on a piece of floss and try to wedge it back in there...if no luck you will probably have to schedule another appointment as soon as possible with your orthodontist

You have to make another appointment to put them back in before you can get your braces put on. The point of the spacers is to allow the orthodontist room around the back teeth to put the braces in. If you don't have the space, you can't install the braces.

Your orthodontist should have explained to you what to do if they fell out. You can try and put it back in yourself. Just to be on the safe side, you should give his office a call because you could be delaying your treatment. I wish you the best of luck.

the space between your back two teeth that they need to put the thickest bracket in will close. sorry but that means youll probably have to get another spacer.

nothing. dont worry about it, itll hurt more when they put the braces in but nothing too bad. if youre really worried, call your dentist and get him to put it back, or do it yourself. put a piece of floss through the hole, and "floss" it into your tooth and pull out the floss slowly. hope this helps, take care.

yeah call them and tell them what befell. they permit you to understand in case you should place some new ones in or no longer. you probable will as a results of fact otherwise the hollow will close back up.

I have braces. My ortho said it really doesn't matter and is no need to come back in to get it fixed. So don't worry about it...

if it falls out that means that there is a big enough space in there, dont worry. if you want to you can try and put it back in but i wouldn't worry about it.
