While true orthodontic emergencies are rare, we understand that discomfort can happen. If you’re experiencing significant pain or an appliance issue that’s beyond your control, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re committed to resolving any issues promptly, ensuring your comfort and progress in your treatment.
Before coming to see us, there are a few things you can do to alleviate temporary discomfort:
If any part of your appliance is loose and can be removed, carefully place it in a plastic bag or envelope and bring it with you to your next visit.
If your braces are causing irritation, use soft wax on the troublesome area. If a wire has shifted, you can gently reposition it with needle-nosed pliers, securing it back into place.
Even after temporarily resolving the issue, it’s important to call us as soon as possible to schedule a repair. Allowing the appliance to remain damaged could impact your treatment timeline.
When you first get your braces, it’s normal to feel some general soreness. For the first few days, your teeth may be tender when biting down. We recommend sticking to a soft diet until the discomfort subsides.
If your gums feel sore or irritated, a warm salt-water rinse can help ease the discomfort.
Dissolve one teaspoon of salt in eight ounces of warm water and rinse vigorously.
If you’re experiencing an issue with your appliance, using wax on the irritated area can provide temporary relief.
If a bracket or band is still attached to the wire, leave it in place and apply wax for comfort. If it detaches easily, save it in an envelope and bring it to your next visit.
To reposition a loose wire, try using tweezers or needle-nosed pliers. If necessary, you can tie the wire into place with floss.
Tie the floss around the bracket to secure the wire. If the wire is causing discomfort and can’t be repositioned, you can trim the wire behind the last secured tooth using a small clipper. Don’t forget to apply wax to any sharp ends.
If a wire is poking you, gently push it down using the back of a pencil eraser, or apply wax to the area for relief.
Whatever the issue, we’re always here to provide you with personalized care and solutions to keep your smile journey on track. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any concerns!

Braces don’t mean you have to say goodbye to all your favorite foods. However, there are a few things you’ll want to avoid to keep your treatment on track and your appliances intact. Here’s a list of foods to steer clear of:
Experiencing some soreness or tenderness in your mouth after getting braces? Don’t worry—this is completely normal. Your teeth are adjusting to the braces, and your mouth will soon become accustomed to the changes.
To ease discomfort, rinse with a warm saltwater solution: Dissolve one teaspoon of salt in eight ounces of lukewarm water, swish gently, and gargle for a couple of minutes (do not swallow).
For more severe pain, try an over-the-counter pain reliever. You may also experience some irritation in your lips, cheeks, and tongue as they adapt to your braces. To help, apply a small amount of wax to the affected area, and feel free to ask us for more if needed.
It’s completely normal for your teeth to feel a little loose when you begin treatment. This is because your braces are gently loosening your teeth to move them into the correct position. Once your teeth have been repositioned, they will no longer feel loose.
Occasionally, a wire or band may become loose. If this happens, reach out to us to schedule a check-up. If any piece of your appliance comes off, please save it and bring it to your next appointment.
For a quick fix, you can gently reposition a loose wire using the back of a spoon or the eraser end of a pencil. If the loose wire is irritating your lips or cheeks, apply wax or a wet cotton ball to the area to relieve the discomfort.
To ensure your treatment stays on schedule, it’s essential to take good care of your appliances. This includes wearing rubber bands, headgear, or retainers as prescribed. Damaged appliances can delay your progress, so remember to follow your orthodontist’s instructions closely.
Yes, you can still play sports with braces! To protect your teeth and braces, we recommend wearing a mouthguard. We offer custom mouthguards designed specifically for braces in our office.
If you experience an accident or injury while playing sports, immediately check for any damage to your teeth or appliances. If you notice any issues, contact our office right away. For temporary relief, apply wax to any painful areas or rinse your mouth with warm saltwater.
With a few simple precautions and care tips, you’ll navigate life with braces like a pro! Always feel free to reach out if you need additional guidance—we’re here to support you every step of the way.
