Ortho Emergencies

You may be able to solve many braces problems temporarily by yourself until Dr. Elliott or Dr. Molina can schedule you a repair appointment if needed. These problems are not likely to cause a delay in your treatment.

 

Loose bracket or band

If your band or bracket is still attached to the wire, leave it in place. If uncomfortable, place wax on it. If it comes out completely, wrap band or bracket in kleenex and place in a small box or plastic bag.

 

 

Loose wire

Try to place wire back in place with tweezers. If that is not possible, clip the wire with fingernail clippers behind the last tooth to which it is securely fastened. If any discomfort, place wax on it.

 

 

Poking wire

Try to push the sticking wire down with a spoon or eraser. If not possible, place wax on it.

 

 

Lost rubberband or elastic tie

Tell Dr. Elliott or Dr. Molina at your next visit.

 

 

Soreness

Use warm saltwater rinses and/or Tylenol or Ibuprofen. If this does not improve within 24 hours, call Dr. Elliott or Dr. Molina.

 

 

Headgear does not fit

Sometimes this is caused by not wearing the headgear as prescribed! If facebow is bent, call Dr. Elliott or Dr. Molina immediately.

 

 

Loose appliance

If appliance is sticking or poking, place wax on it.

 

 

If you feel you are unable to handle a problem on your own, please call Cary Pediatric Dentistry as soon as possible at (919) 852-1322.
