Is It Normal to Realign Nose Without a Splint?

nosequestion
I just left an ENT's office and he said I had a broken nose. He shot some numbing agent into my nose and then used a tool to realign the bones. The break has indented the line of my nose. He then packed. He did not put any sort of cast or splint on my nose, is this okay?
