Emergency Orthodontic Treatment
Although orthodontic emergencies are rare, it is important to know what to do should you need emergency treatment. Keep in mind that the longer you wait to address the issue the more damage you could do to your teeth, which can also affect your treatment. If you get the sense that something is wrong, call us immediately to set up an emergency appointment.
The most common orthodontic emergencies are loose wires or brackets. While these issues do not pose a danger to your safety, they can inhibit your treatment and even cause more discomfort.

FAQ’s About Emergency Orthodontics
What is an orthodontic emergency?
Examples of an orthodontic emergency are: a loose wire or bracket, a broken wire or extreme discomfort. These can be caused or exacerbated by an injury or other trauma to the mouth, teeth, or the face, swollen or infected gums or any other infection or serious swelling in the face, or severe unmanageable pain in the mouth or face.
When should I call my orthodontist?
Should you experience an orthodontic emergency, you should call your orthodontist immediately.
How soon can I get an appointment?
We take orthodontic emergencies seriously, and will schedule the soonest available appointment.
Should I be worried about an emergency?
Our staff is very well-equipped to deal with emergencies, and is extremely unlikely that you will experience anything other than mild to medium discomfort (a loose wire poking at your gums, or the realignment of your teeth after a loose bracket).
What happens if I wait to get it taken care of?
Should you put off getting the problem fixed, it can cause further difficulties as you continue with your treatment.
