Emergency Orthodontic Visits

Orthodontic problems do not always wait for your next scheduled appointment. When something with your braces, aligners or appliance needs attention, call our office and we will help you arrange a visit.

Common Reasons to Call

Broken or Loose Brackets — a bracket that has come off the tooth or is sliding along the wire.
Poking or Broken Wires — a wire end that is irritating your cheek or gums.
Damaged Appliances — an expander, retainer or other appliance that has loosened or broken.

Before Your Visit

Keep any loose pieces and bring them with you. Orthodontic wax over a poking wire or bracket can help keep you comfortable until you are seen.
