At work this afternoon I noticed and felt that the wire on my left side was curved bending out towards my cheek. I have a gap there which is being closed and the wire goes across it. I just felt it and it snapped just where it connects to the metal bracket going around my molar. I phoned the ortho but it was shut. There was another number for a emergency NHS 8-8 place but I can't call untill tomorrow. I'm working too 7:25am till 19:40pm cause i work long days when Im on shift. I could try to go on my break but I don't know if an NHS place can do anything. If at best I can't get seen by my proper ortho till Monday will this set me back a lot?
I'm so annoyed at myself I really didn't put pressure on it. I just felt it cause it was bent. I have so far only had one adjustment and been in braces since mid Jan. The original wire has not yet been changed.
Help wire snapped!!!

Re: Help wire snapped!!!
If its not hurting you, waiting until Monday won't set back your braces time. It's only 2 days. Don't stress too much, orthos know that accidents happen
Re: Help wire snapped!!!
Thank you for reply and no It doesn't hurt. How do I even explain it though, Oh I just touched it and it snapped! Do you think it was the pressure or maybe hot drinks that caused the wire to warp? I use a straw at home but I don't at work.
