Molar tube fell off

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?

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

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.
