If a bracket comes loose or a wire pokes out, don’t panic. Here’s what to do:

  • Apply orthodontic wax to the area to prevent irritation.
  • Avoid eating hard or sticky foods.
  • Call our office as soon as possible to schedule a repair appointment.

Try not to “fix” it yourself. Continuing treatment with a broken appliance can delay your progress.
