Real Orthodontic emergencies are seldom, but when those irritating mishaps with your hardware do occur, we are available to you at one of our nearby locations. You are encouraged to call our office if you are experiencing any prolongued discomfort or should you have an appliance problem that you or a parent are unable to take care of. In these events, we'll schedule an appointment at our earliest availability to help resolve the problem and put you more at ease.
NOTE: It is helpful to know that you may be able to temporarily solve or diminish the effects of many problems yourself with a little "coaching". We'll be happy to help!
When working with your orthodontic appliances, you should know the proper names of the parts so that you can properly identify and communicate what part is broken or out of place. After alleviating any immediate discomfort, it is very important that you still call our office to schedule a time to repair the problem professionally. Allowing your appliance to remain damaged or out of place for an extended period of time may result in disruptions in your treatment plan.
If you or your child is uncomfortable and you cannot correct the problem yourself, please call our office at 1-888-445-5372 and we will try and assist you over the phone. If you call after hours, follow the instructions given to page our on-call clinician. They will return your call promptly and help you.
Give your mouth a sporting chance - wear a mouthguard!
