How We Treat Orthodontic Emergencies
Acting quickly could make all the difference for getting your smile the care it needs and making sure your orthodontic treatment stays on track. Here’s how we can help during an orthodontic emergency:
- Give Our Office a Call: Step one is to call our office and let our team know about your emergency. We can give you tips for managing the issue, which might involve placing wax over part of your braces or taking an over-the-counter pain reliever for any discomfort you’re experiencing.
- Set Up an Appointment: You can resolve some orthodontic issues on your own, but if a professional’s help is truly required, we will make arrangements to see you as soon as we can. We’re available on weekends when necessary, so you don’t have to worry about waiting too long for relief.
- Get the Care You Need: When you get to our office, we’ll take whatever steps are necessary to resolve your emergency. Sometimes we can fix the problem in just one visit, but there are cases where a follow-up visit may be required (such as if we need to order a new clear aligner for you). We’ll let you know if there are any oral health issues that need to be treated by your general dentist.
The Most Common Orthodontic Emergencies
So what exactly constitutes an orthodontic emergency in the first place? Our orthodontists would be happy to enlighten you. Here are some of the most common situations we tackle for children and adults in need. Remember that you can always call us if you have any orthodontic concerns even if you aren’t sure whether your specific problem counts as an emergency.
Understanding the Cost of Orthodontic Emergencies
Since there are so many different forms that an orthodontic emergency can take, the cost of treatment can vary quite a bit from case to case. Before we can figure out how much you can expect to pay, we need to examine your mouth and learn the specifics of your situation. Then we can explain what solutions are available and give you a trustworthy estimate of the cost.
Keys to Preventing Orthodontic Emergencies
If you want to minimize your chances of suffering from an orthodontic emergency, you should carefully follow the instructions that our team gives you. For example, if you have traditional braces, there will be certain foods that you should avoid; clear aligners give you more freedom regarding your diet, but they should still be removed before meals. It can take effort to adhere to the rules of your treatment, but it will be worth it in the long run.
