text: the other night, the wire that goes across my brackets *on my braces*? has come out of one of the bands....so...i was able to cut part of it with a toenail clipper...but there's still a small, but very sharp piece still there and i need to cut it.  i don't have a wire cutter or anything...and i don't think the toenail clipper will work properly. sweetie, you need to go back tot the ortho and have them snip that wire for you.  they have the proper tools for that and it won't take but a minute for them to fit you in and take care of it for you.  if you have any wax, you may want to put that on until you get to the ortho.  give them a call as soon as possible because the longer you wait, the worse it will tear up your mouth.
