Our local orthodontist in Alpharetta, GA, Dr. Walton, is aware that occasional orthodontic emergencies can happen. Even though the majority of circumstances don’t call for immediate orthodontic attention, a follow-up appointment at our clinic can be necessary.
If your ligatures come off, you might be able to put them back on with tweezers Let Dr. Walton know if they are missing or broken and we will see you in our office as soon as possible for repair.
Our orthodontic professional close to Cumming, GA warns that mouth sores are frequently experienced and that some people may experience abrupt outbreaks. The irritation the braces produce can exacerbate them even though they are not always the cause. Most of the time, a topical anesthetic that is available over the counter will suffice.
According to our orthodontist specialist in Alpharetta, GA, a wire can work its way loose and protrude into your gums, causing inflammation and irritation. We recommend that you try to push the wire back so it lies flat on the tooth. If that does not work, the protruding wire can be covered with relief wax. This is a situation where you will want to come into our office as soon as you can. While loose bands, brackets, and wires do require the attention of the orthodontist, they usually do not need immediate attention.
Although rare, it’s possible that you can ingest a piece of a dental device. It is best to contact us as soon as possible if this occurs. Additionally, do not hesitate to contact us immediately if you have extreme pain or damage to your face or mouth while wearing braces.
