Accidents happen and as your Jacksonville orthodontist, we\u2019re here to let you know that we\u2019ve got you covered! If you find yourself in the middle of an orthodontic emergency, contact us as right away so we can make the time to treat you properly. If an accident happens outside business hours, give us a call on our answering service and we can get back to you as soon as possible. Here\u2019s what to do in case of an orthodontic accident: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Soreness and discomfort: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After getting your braces adjusted, you\u2019ll most likely experience some soreness. Wax, over-the-counter pain relievers, and a warm washcloth may help to ease your pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Loose or broken bracket: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your bracket becomes loose or broken, give us a call as soon as possible. If it remains attached to your wire, simply keep it in place and use wax to combat any discomfort until your next appointment. If you completely lose your bracket, just slide it off and bring it along to your next visit.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Loose, poking, or broken wire: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll probably experience a poking wire at some point throughout your treatment. While you may be able to redirect the wire, if you\u2019re unable to bend it, contact us. Use wax to keep the wire from poking and moving further out of place. Should your main archwire break, give us a call to schedule an emergency appointment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no need to stress about an orthodontic emergency, we\u2019re here to get your \u00a0treatment back on track and minimize your discomfort as much as possible. If you break or loosen any of your appliances, call our office so we can determine the best way to help you. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every now and then you may find a wire uncomfortably poking your cheek or perhaps you broke a bracket over dinner.
