Although there are very few true orthodontic emergencies, during the course of treatment you may discover that you have loose or broken braces. You may also discover that the orthodontic wires may shift and begin irritating your lips or cheeks. If you have a problem that you cannot resolve on your own, call the office. Dr. Sammons' orthodontic team will be able to give you advice on how to solve the problem yourself or schedule you the appropriate appointment so that your braces problem can be fixed. If an accident occurs during treatment involving the teeth, call Dr. Sammons or your dentist immediately.
