What To Do In An Emergency

While orthodontic emergencies are rare, it can happen. And if it does, we’re here to help! An emergency is when you’re in an intense amount of pain, if your appliance or braces are broken, or if a wire is jabbing painfully into your cheek.

With some issues, there are steps you can at home take to temporarily fix or alleviate your discomfort and (most importantly) to prevent additional damage. However, you should still always reach out to let us know if you’re having an issue! Sometimes, we may even be able to walk you through the issue over the phone or virtually through video communication.
