Molar tube fell off

[bleh]

So I was eating a sandwich the other day and suddenly my left-side molar tube falls off.

My question is: how important is getting this fixed ASAP?

I ask because I'm currently away from home, and will be until mid-April.

By the way, my braces are only a couple of months old and were installed to close the gap between my two upper front teeth.

Thanks for any replies.

that depends... was there a wire in the molar tube?

[bleh]

I think so. The wire itself isn't damaged, though.

hi , i think you'll be just fine those come on most all molorbands or molorbrackets, however if your like me an wear headgear or lipbumpers you will need it replaced, headgearjoe

Call your orthodontist and ask what they think you should do. If there was a wire going through it, it was there for a reason.

I agree with Wingnut. You should check with your orthodontist. One time mine came off and they wanted me in within a week but other people's probably dont matter as much.
