Does the orthodontist have a website.? If so, perhaps you could send an email explaining the problem and wait for a reply or maybe this question will be addressed in the FAQ b/c I'm sure it's happened to other patients as well. If all else fails, check out the internet for a website that will address this issue. But, to answer your initial question, I would definitely not attempt to put the spacer back. I think your sister will be o.k. until she can get in touch with the orthodontist office. Don't worry, teeth do not close together that quickly. It takes several weeks if not months for that to happen. But, don't delay, do call the orthodontist as soon as practicable. Good luck! Hope this helps you and your sister.Health Question & Answer
she might mess up her teeth if she does it herself. I don't think that it would close up overnight but if it did then the orthodontist could fix it.
but she could permanently mess up her teeth if she does it herself
