Is this braces problem normal?
Normally there are 4 bracket hoops for the molars right? (for top and bottom jaw, so two on each side) well I'm not sure if this is normal or my dentist forgot, because I only have one molar bracket (on bottom jaw) - I'm pretty sure I didn't swallow it so I'm just worried if he forgot, my teeth aren't sided to one side so i don't see the point of him having one bracket to pull the teeth - in fact I'm worried the one sided bracket might ruin my teeth and pull them slanted to one side.
So can anyone tell me if this is normal? or he actually forgot? should I go get another appointment?
Any idea? :S

If the tooth wasn't in line he may want to straiten the other teeth a bit before putting the bracket on. There should be brackets on every other tooth besides that one so your other teeth should be fine. You can call or stop by to ask him, you don't need a full appointment.
I doubt he'd forget. If you can feel excess wire sticking out that would have been in a braket otherwise perhaps. Just ring him and ask. No need to make another appointment just yet
