Bracket popped

Hello,

I have had braces since Nov 20, 2010 and just last week one of my ligatures was missing off my top incisor ceramic bracket. I have ceramics on top and metal on the bottom. Then just today my ceramic bracket on my top front tooth popped off and is dangling and loose. Should I just take off the ligature and pull the bracket off? My ortho is closed now till Jan 4th and I don't know if I should just leave it alone or take the bracket right off so I don't lose it. I am scheduled for an adjustment on Jan 4th, but that is just under two weeks away.

Any suggestions would appreciated.

Thank you

Take it off if you can. If it gets lost they will put another one on
