If I Removed the Back Molar Band, Would if Affect Anything?

I've have my braces for months now, but i have had a problems with the right back molar band. It bothers me a lot, sometimes it hurt because its pretty lose. my next appointment isn't until July, so if i remove it will it affect anything?

Loose band

Give your doctor a call to schedule an emergency visit. Taking a loose band off yourself could damage the other braces, and the wire would still be sticking out - ouch!
