Reach out: Call your orthodontic specialist immediately! don't wait. Telephone, text, email, voicemail, smoke signals, whatever it takes. Broken braces mean a broken system...Your teeth are no longer under control.

See an orthodontist: If you notice a loose/broken wire or bracket, contact your orthodontist to schedule a repair appointment ASAP. Good luck.
