I am 23 years old female. 4 days back I had dental braces on my upper teeth, for the first time. Doctor has fixed 2 elastics in between my molar teeth on each side i.e in all 4 elastics were fixed between molar teeth. On the left side, there were 2 elastics bt within 3 hrs a elastics came out. I called to doctor and they said that is not an issue. Now today, after 4 days another elastic of left side also came out (due to discomfort I disturbed it). Now, there is no elastic on left side while there are 2 elastics on right side. I live in another city and my doctor is 416 KM away. My next visit is after a month. What should I do now. Will this effect the treatment? Should I go to some nearby dentist n get those elastics fixed? Or is it ok? Please help, I am new to this field.
