Is it bad to wait 2 weeks to get a bracket replaced?

Question

One of my top back brackets came off and my appointment is in 2 weeks is it bad for me to wait. Last time I called to see if they could fix my loose bracket they told me to wait till my next appointment. So now I have one loose one and one off is it bad for me to wait and will the process be messed up?

It sounds like you have 2 detached brackets.  I would suggest calling and trying to get in sooner than two weeks from now.  Sometimes the tooth with a loose bracket can move significantly in a two week period.  This would delay your treatment sometimes adding an additional appointment.
