I had a bracket come off, it's the end bracket on my bottom right molar, should I go in to get it fixed or wait?

It came off when i was eating because my upper tooth was hitting it when i bite down.

Will leaving it until my next appointment (23rd september) be an issue or should I go in to get it fixed immediately? My orthodontist is pretty far so I'm not keen on the thought of travelling all that way for a 2 minute fix then coming back.

This area of my teeth was already straight if that makes a difference
