Emergency Care Orthodontic Treatment
The most common emergencies are related to orthodontic appliances. Sometimes appliances might be broken or bent. The most common issues are loose brackets, wires that are broken, or wires that poke out. If any of these happen to you or your child, try your best to see your orthodontist immediately.

Call your orthodontist
when they open to schedule an appointment to address the issue as soon as possible.
If a wire is irritating your mouth,
you can try to cover it with beeswax or a pencil tip.
If you have a loose brand or bracket,
they can usually be left in place until you see your orthodontist.
If you have a broken wire,
you can use a pencil eraser or cut it with nail clippers.
