Common Emergencies

• Loose or Broken Brackets
• Poking Wires
• Lost or Broken Retainers
• Soreness or Discomfort

We have emergency appointments available. While most orthodontic issues are minor and can wait a few days, please contact us if:

• You're in significant pain or unable to eat

• A wire or appliance is causing injury or bleeding

• You’ve lost or broken a key appliance, like a retainer or expander

Our team will assess the situation and schedule an emergency visit if needed.

• Use orthodontic wax to cover sharp or uncomfortable area
• Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to reduce irritation
• Eat soft foods and avoid anything sticky or hard
• Keep any broken pieces and bring them to your next appointment
