My back wire just popped out and my ortho office closed an hour ago! When else would it happen?!

Would you just try and thread it back in, or tuck it under the bracket so it's not poking me? They won't be in the office untill Tuesday. I'm not in pain, and it's the last tooth. Would you suggest I just grin (no pun intended :D ) untill I can be seen? I will tell them that it's poking me if that's what I need to say to get in.

This has happened to me several times, mainly when I had thinner wires. Glad you could do it yourself as waiting till tuesday would have been to long. Good luck
