Emergencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

True orthodontic emergencies are very rare. When you begin orthodontic treatment we will teach you how to handle most orthodontic problems that can arise. You will be very knowledgeable and equipped to solve many problems yourself temporarily until you are able to be seen in our office. With the use of camera phones these days, there is almost nothing that we can’t talk you through over the phone. When talking to us to describe your problem, it will be helpful for you to know the names of the parts of your braces. This way you will be able to identify what is broken or out of place. Below you will find pictures of the part of braces along with their descriptions. If you are able to alleviate your problem and discomfort on your own, it is very important that you still call our office as soon as possible to schedule a time to repair the problem. Allowing your braces or wires to remain damaged for an extended period of time may result in disruptions and delays in your treatment plan. If you are experiencing severe pain or you have a problem that you can’t take care of on your own, you should call our office to schedule an appointment to take care of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
