Hi everyone.
I got braces just over 3 weeks ago and have my first adjustment next Monday 15/01/07.
I just brushed my teeth after eating my lunch and noticed the wire on my top arch is quite loose. I can tell as I have a large gap after an extraction and the wire is direct onto a tooth.
My problem is my denstist/ortho is on annual leace and gets back on the 15/01/07. Will this be OK if I leave it and brush gently around the wire.
