The brackets of my braces came loose. Is it okay if I just leave the bracket that way?

Asked By:rosiedunne in Malaysia

So I had my braces for 2 weeks now and yesterday, one of my brackets on my second last tooth at the back came loose. But weirdly, mine doesn't move at all unless I eat or brush my teeth. I'm completely sure that its loose but unless I move it with my fingers, it doesn't "float around" on the wire. I am currently at another country and I can't (there is no other way) go to my orthodontist until the 2nd of January. Is it okay if I just leave the bracket that way? Its just one bracket thats loose
