Wire Of The Braces Broken, Cannot Fix It Until Next Appointment. Is It Cause Of Concern ?

just had a dentist appointment about a week ago. I have braces and they broke my wire! So the back brackets don't have a wire on the bottom. Now the place I go to is Western Dental and it's also a Orthodontist place. They said they couldn't fix it until my next appointment which is on December 11. What should I do? Is this bad?

Hello, thank you for consulting with us for your problem. When you are taking an orthodontic treatment it is better to keep in touch with the dentist as these type of problems arise commonly. if the wire is broken at the time of treatment it will delay the treatment as the wire will not be able to put pressure on the teeth and there will be no effect of the treatment. it is better to consult you dentist and get it fixed because visiting other dentist will be difficult for your treatment.
