Elastic loop come of braces

#1 Post by Fiatbraces »

Hi guys

I have some elastic loops around my back brackets and a powerchain on the front and on one of my back brackets the elastic loop has come off, only on one bracket though... should I go back to my orthodontist or should I wait for my next appointment which is meant to be to take my brace of (but don’t think it will be taken off because I still have a gap) in 2- 3 weeks? Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

I usually put the loop back on myself. I use an interdental brush to help me with it. That said, I don't think having it off a bracket or 2 would make much difference in 2 weeks.
