Power chain broke! Getting braces off in a week??

#1 Post by guest12345 »

After going to the ortho yesterday for an emergency appointment for something ELSE that broke, I was frustrated to find that my power chain has snapped on one tooth (upper canine) and it feels like a space may appear there if I leave it. But, I'm getting de banded in 11 days so I don't know whether to hope for the best and leave it or go back AGAIN for an emergency appointment.
Suggestions?

I'd go back again. No sense risking that you won't be debanded as scheduled if something moves.
