If a wire causes irritation- push the wire  away from the area using the eraser end of a pencil

                                                                      or a cotton swab. If the wire cannot be tucked away, cover the end

                                                                      of the wire with a small piece of wax or a cotton ball, until you can

                                                                      see us for an adjustment.

               If a wire breaks- cover the end of the wire with dental wax, and call the office immediately for an

                                                    appointment.

                  If a wire comes out of the brace- attempt to reinsert the wire with a pair of needle nosed

                                                                                   pliers or tweezers. If the wire is not sticking you, place a

                                                                                   piece of wax over the area. If the wire is sticking you and

                                                                                   the wax does not help, the wire can be cut with a small

                                                                                   wire cutter or nail clipper close to the back of the last brace.

                                                                                   This is a last resort if professional help is not available.

                  If a bracket or band becomes loose- it usually remains connected to the main wire. Call the

                                                                                         office as soon as possible to schedule an appointment.

                  If you suffer a trauma to the teeth or mouth- if it is causing pain call your dentist or go to

                                                                                                          the emergency room. Otherwise call the office

                                                                                                          to schedule an emergency visit.

                  If an appliance such as an expander becomes loose- if it is not causing pain or discomfort

                                                                                                                       call the office during normal business

                                                                                                                       hours.
