hey guys,i have braces to fix a bunch of gaps and was eating cereal and accidentally chipped the corner of a bracket with my spoon. i have in-ovation c braces. i circled below where i chipped a piece off. its the area where the little white wire is wrapped around the bracket..the archwire is still in place and the little wire thing is still in place..is this really a problem? I have an appointment in 11 days and just wondering if i should wait till then to bring it up or if i should call

I'd give your ortho a call, but as long as everything seems to still function and is in place, it's probably not an emergency. I had two chipped brackets for about 6 months before my ortho decided to replace them.

Dude relax 11 days is nothing. Ppl usually don't have to go in for 2 weeks when their brackets have fallen off. So as long as the wire is still in it's all good.
