A separator has come out
Separators are placed between those teeth which need orthodontic bands to be placed on them. They make the space for the bands to go on more easily and they stay on for up to 2 weeks.
If a separator falls out within a few days of being placed you should contact the practice for an earlier appointment.
If a separator falls out less than 4 days of when you are returning for the bands, you do not need to contact us.
