Go to a pharmacy and get OTC Dent Temp, it's a putty and place a little over area. As a last resort use a piece of bubble gum. Don't try Crazy glue. If you can fiend a walk in dental office where ever you are go in.

The chances are your teeth will not noticeably shift in the next two weeks. See your orthodontist as soon as you get home.

Call your Orthodontist now and schedule an appointment for as soon as you return. If you wait until you get back to call, it may be awhile until you can be seen. Depending on which teeth debunked, there may be anything from no change to noticeable change. Ion you see change, find a local Orthodontist.
