If it's only a little loose, be sure to swash with mouthwash or saltwater to prevent bacteria from getting under the gum line and don't eat anything too hard to chew for a few days. It'll be fine on its own in a few days.

Is the tooth still in your gums? If it is, I'm not positive that your braces will fix it. If it's not, your braces definitely cannot fix it. The best solution would probably be to call your orthodontist for an appointment. Or your dentist could also help. Anyway, if your bracket is loose, I would suggest using fluoride rinse to prevent plaque build up under the bracket.

It would be best that you see your orthodontist ASAP. This could lead to other problems like maybe misalignment of your teeth.

I would get that checked out by your orthodontist just to be safe, you don't want those puppies on longer than they have to be do ya?
