And wire there, not sore she says. Have googled to death she may have swallowed it and on abdominal pain watch. But orthodontist won’t see her for two weeks as dh tested positive yesterday. She’s negative fully vaxxed we are keeping away from him.
I get they are probably right and cautious but we are going to see my family next week, haven’t seen them for a year so it will be 18/4 before we can now get braces sorted.
Any advice appreciated

Has the wire definitely snapped, or has it moved/rotated in the brackets so it's actually slipped further around the opposite side of her mouth?

My DD had a bracket pop off but it did cling to the wire! Also had the wire slip so I thought it had come out/snapped on the right hand side but it had slipped further around to the left. I think she broke every part of the brace at some point when she was wearing it, even an elastic broke at one point.

No bracket its the last bracket on a molar, the wire just running from the preceding bracket
