    Call orthodontist. They'll get you in ASAP and will fix it for you. Don't cut the wire yourself. My ortho typically can get me in the same day and if not the same day then VERY first thing the next morning. They even open early and will take early appointments for folks with minor issues like that.

    Always give your ortho a call and let them know what's happened.

    If you were one of our patients ... and not preparing for surgery, the answer would most likely be to put the wire back in (since you can do that) ... or ... if the wire isn't annoying you, leave it where it is ... or ... if the wire is annoying you, come in to have it put back in the buccal molar bracket or the loose bit changed.

    The important thing to remember is ... where the archwire is in place, it will be working as it needs to do!

    Good luck with your phone call!
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!
