Is this a dental emergency?

I have traditional braces. I go in on the 10, but I don't know if I should call and schedule sooner. I was brushing my teeth last night and a tie comes out. The tie was on the tooth right after/before the band. So the bands wire is poking and I'm not sure if it's in the right place. The wire was poking before too so that doesn't really help. And you could put wax or sugarless gum in till the 10th but that's a pretty long wait I think. It's 13 days and I know the typical guideline is if your appointment is in 8 days or less then don't call and reschedule. Obviously I know this is going to delay treatment along with all the broken brackets from caring.
