Emergency Care

True orthodontic emergencies are rare, but when they do occur we are available to you. These include: Broken expansion appliances (Hyrax or Quad), anything that makes you bleed, or if you've been hit in the mouth and displaced brackets, appliances or teeth. Broken or displaced teeth from trauma should be seen as soon as possible first by your general dentist and then by the orthodontist. We'll be able to schedule an appointment to resolve the problem.

As a general rule, you should call the office when you experience severe pain or when you have a painful appliance problem that you can't take care of yourself. You might be surprised to learn that you may be able to temporarily solve many problems yourself until you schedule an appointment with our office. When working with your appliances, you need to know the names of the parts of your appliances so you are able to identify what part is broken or out of place. After alleviating your discomfort, it is important that you still call our office to schedule a time to repair the problem. Allowing your appliance to remain damaged for an extended period of time may result in lengthening your treatment time.
