24/7 emergency service with one of our highly experienced team members
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and place orthodontic wax over the area causing irritation. If it continues to bother you, please let our office know so we can help.
If your aligner is lost or damaged, we never want you to go without wearing your aligners. Don’t worry—it happens! Try the next set of aligners to see if they fit. If they fit properly, wear them for one full week before taking your next scans. Please let our office know so we can update your records and ensure your treatment stays on track.
Occasionally a bracket gets loose or damaged. In that case, cover the bracket with wax. If it detaches completely, don’t worry. Either way, call our office to schedule a repair.
If the bracket or band is still attached to the wire: leave it in place and put orthodontic wax on it (if needed) for added comfort.
If the band or spring is detached from the wire: please contact us for your next appointment.
*Please call us and leave a message about this concern to ensure adequate appointment time for repair.
If you lose an aligner, or accidentally throw one away, don’t panic. You can simply move to your next upper and lower aligner in your series as outlined by one of our doctors.
Please call and inform the office when you have done this so we can update your records.
While there are steps you can take to temporarily fix or alleviate discomfort and prevent additional damage, we should always be notified. Contact us if you have any concerns.
Every smile is unique. That’s why we offer flexible, custom treatment options for every age, goal, and lifestyle.
