Emergency Care
Guidance for managing common orthodontic urgencies between scheduled appointments.
Most orthodontic discomforts can be managed at home until your next scheduled visit. Common issues such as general soreness, a loose bracket, a poking wire, or a loose appliance each have straightforward interim solutions. If you are experiencing an orthodontic urgency — including a loose or broken appliance, a wire causing irritation, or unexpected discomfort — contact our office directly so we can advise you on next steps or schedule prompt attention. For immediate assistance, please call or text (562) 430-0541.
