Are there any orthodontic emergencies you handle?

Popular Braces, LLC, is dedicated to ensuring patients receive the care they need, including guidance on orthodontic emergencies. While they primarily focus on providing braces and orthodontic treatment, they do recognize that patients may encounter situations requiring immediate attention. Common orthodontic emergencies include broken brackets, loose wires, or discomfort that cannot be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. In such cases, it is recommended that patients first assess the situation. If a bracket has become detached but is still attached to the wire, the patient may gently reposition it using wax to alleviate discomfort. If a wire is poking and causing irritation, it may be possible to use a pair of tweezers or a soft tissue to reposition it. However, these are temporary solutions. For persistent or severe issues, it is advisable to consult an orthodontic professional. While Popular Braces may not handle emergencies directly, they emphasize the importance of seeking timely care through proper channels.
