I have metal spacers between some of my molars. Well, today as I was brushing one of them fell out. Should I call my ortho and let him know? Should I just wait until my next appt? (in 10 days) Or just not worry about it because that spacer has obviously done its' job?
When in doubt - call the ortho. I think my ortho told me ahead of time if they fell out don't worry about it. But I think in some cases they may want to know, especially if your appointment is 10 days away. What can move apart can just move right back together!
