If you’ve suddenly felt something snap, poke or shift in your mouth, please give us a call. Broken brackets and wires are one of the most common orthodontic emergencies we see.
While it may not be life-threatening, it is important to address the issue quickly. At Sydney Emergency Dentist, we provide fast, professional emergency orthodontic care in Sydney to help get things back on track.
Broken braces can lead to:
- Delays in your orthodontic progress
- Mouth sores or soft tissue injuries
- Risk of further breakage or complications
While you wait for your appointment, you can manage the discomfort by:
- Gently pressing any loose wires back into place with a clean cotton swab or the eraser end of a pencil
- Using orthodontic wax to cover sharp edges and prevent irritation
- In a pinch, sugar-free gum can work as a temporary barrier
- Avoiding sticky, crunchy or chewy foods until the issue is resolved
Our team can quickly repair the damage and make sure your orthodontic treatment stays on schedule.
