Emergencies
Immediate care for orthodontic emergencies. Contact us for quick assistance.
What We Treat
Lost Separator
Call our office if you lose a separator during treatment. It’s usually not an urgent issue, but we’ll assess if it needs to be replaced to keep your treatment on track.
Sore Teeth/Discomfort with Orthodontic Treatment
Are you experiencing soreness after getting braces or an adjustment? Take pain relievers, rinse with warm salt water, or use a heating pad to ease discomfort while your mouth adjusts to your new braces.
Wire Irritations
Relieve wire irritation by gently moving the wire with a cotton swab or eraser. If that doesn’t help, cover the end with cotton or wax to avoid further discomfort until you can see us.
Loose Bracket
If your bracket is loose, contact our office to see if it needs refitting. If necessary, use sterilized nail clippers to trim the wire, and schedule a repair appointment soon.
Loose Wire
If your wire is loose, gently reposition it with sterilized tweezers or cover the end with wax. If cutting is required, use sterilized nail clippers and cut behind the last bracket.
