Orthodontic issues can arise unexpectedly, but being prepared can ease stress and prevent complications. At Weibel Orthodontics in Lancaster County, we prioritize your readiness for any emergencies during treatment.
Common situations include:
- **Loose Bracket or Wire:** If a bracket detaches, gently reposition it with clean fingers. If uncomfortable, use orthodontic wax to alleviate pressure and contact Dr. Paul Weibel for a professional fix.
- **Broken Appliance:** If a retainer or expander malfunctions, save the broken parts and reach out to our office for advice.
- **General Discomfort:** Some discomfort after adjustments is normal. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help, but if pain persists for more than a few days, contact us.
- **Mouth or Jaw Injuries:** For cuts or swelling, rinse with warm salt water and apply a cold compress. Seek dental help if the issue doesn’t improve.
