I had an adjustment earlier today, where I was fitted with a new powerchain. However, I just looked in the mirror and saw that the powerchain has slightly detached from the bracket on one of my front upper teeth; I mean the powerchain is still attached to the bracket but it no longer covers the whole thing.
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but is this is a big problem, and should I contact my orthodontist immediately to get it fixed?? *worried*
I've had similar situations. Sometimes I've been able to fix them myself, but if you can't or aren't comfortable doing so, just call the ortho. They will probably have you stop back in.
