EMERGENCY CARE

True orthodontic emergencies are very rare, but when they
do occur we are available to you.

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. We'll be able to schedule an appointment
to resolve the problem.

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 very important that you still call our office as soon as possible to schedule a time to repair the problem. Allowing your appliance to remain damaged for an extended period of time may result in disruptions in your treatment plan.
