i went to brush my teeth and my bracket popped off! i have my next appt in may and i will get rubber bands then, will this little bracket delay treatment? if so by how much?
dangit!!! oh well it happens right?
You may want to give them a call and check. They may not want to put elastics on a freshly bonded bracket, so that might delay it a bit. Then again, if they can fit you in to re-bond it, and then you go in for your regular appointment later, it may be fine. All depends, but it's best to let them know, just in case.
