I am supposed to have my braces removed next thursday, Aug. 26th. (about 2 weeks from today) and over the weekend, I just had a bracket pop off. Its still sitting there because I am in power chains, but since then the tooth and the 2 teeth beside it have become sore, and im assuming its because they are morving..
Is it worth calling my ortho to re-attach it if I am supposed to have them taken off right away? and if these teeth shift a little bit, will the retainer move them back?

Most definantly contact your ortho with the bracket sitting there its doing nothing at all. So with that said phone the ortho now.

I called and they said dont worry about it so I said I was worried because it was sore. She went to ask the ortho and he asked what tooth it was. I said it was the left bottom canine. She came back again and said dont worry about it, it wont affect anything.
I'm still worried. It's turned a tiny bit.

well if the ortho said not to worry about it and you think you have enough confident I would try to remove it so it doesn't bug the hell out of me more and also prevent the likely hood of it coming loose from the wire and you swallowing it.

If you are still worried, call. I don't blame you for being concerned. You are almost done!

Good luck!
