EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS

Have you ever sustained damage to your braces or other appliances in the middle of the night and wondered what to do? Well, we have you covered. Orthodontic emergencies, more often than not, mean complications with the appliance. Some of the most common reasons that people require immediate attention are listed below.

• Broken wires in braces
• Loosened bands
• Loosened brackets
• Lost spacers
• Oral pain
• Allergic reaction
• Infection or swelling of gums
• Swallowed appliance (or a part of it)

Never try to correct or handle an orthodontic emergency on your own. Reach out to us and our doctors will guide you on the appropriate steps. Most orthodontic emergencies can be attended to within a day or two. In severe cases like allergic reactions, infections or swallowing of appliance, going straight to an emergency room is recommended.
