So short story, I was in the middle of eating and then suddenly my brackets and the arch wire of my back molar broke off! My orthodontist office is on vacation until end of July.. and I will be away next week... Is it possible to go into a different orthodontist office and tell them to fix them for me?

I haven't personally tried going to another ortho office to get my braces fixed. But I guess desperate times calls for desperate measures, you could try it. If they reject you, you could try cutting off the access wire yourself with a nail clipper until your ortho can see you.
