My Back Bracket Fell off What Should I Do?

It is very important to get into your orthodontic office as soon as possible to get the bracket back onto the tooth. Since there is no longer constant pressure on that tooth, it can delay treatment time depending on how long the bracket has been off. I recommend getting into the office within a day or so of the bracket coming off.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend to call your doctor and schedule an appointment to place the bracket back. Should be easy to do.

Call your orthodontist pronto!  Getting the bracket replaced soon is important to be sure you do not get "off track" from your treatment schedule.  When you call, ask about whether you need to stop your elastics until the bracket is replaced.
