I went to the orthodontist's this morning and this afternoon I noticed one of my teeth didn't have a lig on. I can't remember if this was on this morning!
My next adjustment is in 3 weeks, do you think this lig is vital or will it wait until the next adjustment?

I would not worry about it. But if you are go see your Ortho. I noticed one missing about four days after my last adjustment and I figure the next time I go they'll just put it back.
I can see your wire off the bracket, so I would definately call the ortho. I don't have ligs, so I don't have the personal experience -- but I call my ortho anytime I think something might be wrong because I don't want to risk anything... and they are usually quite nice about helping.
