Hi
You may wait for sometime.. Till there is no discomfort. In case it pains or causes an ulcer on the lips, do contact any available orthodontist preferably

I think if the wire came out then it can harm you while eating, brushing or yawning. You can go to any nearby dentist ..he will help you for the same. Or do one thing ..if your orthodontist has given you orthodontic wax ...apply it over that wire which has come out, it will not hurt you then.

I think If you can you can visit any Dental clinic nearby in which ever city you are.The wire can be adjusted by anyone.If you are going back to your city in few days time you can wait.But be careful.
