Emergency Ortho Care

Orthodontic emergencies are rare, but if you ever experience severe pain or a broken bracket or wire you can’t manage, please call our office right away. In many cases, you can provide temporary relief at home by saving any loose parts in a bag, covering poking wires with wax, or gently tucking misplaced wires back into place with clean tweezers. Then, contact us to schedule a prompt repair and keep your treatment on track.

It’s normal to feel some soreness after adjustments or when starting new appliances. Soft foods and warm salt‑water rinses soothe tender areas, and acetaminophen can help with discomfort. If headgear or other appliances cause irritation, a quick office adjustment can restore comfort and ensure your progress continues smoothly.
