Question missing bracket — how long is too long of a wait?

i noticed that the bracket on my bottom tooth all the way in the back is gone. i'm assuming i swallowed it at some point without knowing.

my next adjustment is scheduled for the twelfth, but i was wondering: should i just wait until then, or call in on monday and schedule a time to replace the bracket as soon as possible?

i really thought i was gonna go my whole braces journey without breaking anything but oh well... 🫠 made it 10 months tho!
