    one of the little bracket things has detached from my tooth. I can move it left and right, like it's a zip/ Obviously it's the weekend and I won't be able to get an appointment till tomorrow, should I do anything about it? It;s the bracket at the very back of my arch and I'm scared it will fall out overnight, or affect the other teeth :confused::o

    Don't worry, it won't affect your other teeth - just arrange to see your orthodontist as soon as is convenient.

    Usually, the orthodontist will have bent the end of the wire behind the last bracket so the bracket will just stay where it is, sliding along the wire. Sometimes it will come free and occasionally will be inadvertently swallowed, but fortunately this almost never causes any problems.
