True orthodontic emergencies are rare, but when they occur we are available to you. As a general rule, you should call our office when you experience discomfort or have an appliance problem you can't take care of yourself. We'll be able to schedule an appointment to resolve the problem, often on the same day.
You might be surprise to learn that you may be able to solve many problems yourself temporarily until you can get to our office. We will give you detailed instructions on how to address common issues and provide you with a starter kit to aid with home care.
If you have an afterhours orthodontic emergency that requires immediate attention, please call our emergency phone number which will be provided when you initiate treatment with our office. We are here to help you address any issues you might have.
