Bro I have braces don't worry, contact your orthadontists (people who do the braces) they can sort it out, you said the silver thing came off.... woah how in the lord.... anyway contact orthodontists and they will sort everything.
P.S braces are supposed to hurt during the first few days, trust me it will be worth it when you have straight teeth! (tip) have soft bread and soup because it is soft and nice Hope I helped.
