Broken Braces Fix in Orlando, FL

Orthodontic emergencies can happen at any time, often when least expected. A broken bracket might result from biting into hard food, or a wire may snap and begin poking your cheek. These issues require prompt attention to prevent complications and additional discomfort.

Broken or Loose Brackets

A bracket can become detached or loose due to various reasons, including eating hard foods or accidental impact during physical activities. If you notice a bracket has fallen off or become loose, avoid touching it unnecessarily. The bracket may remain attached to the wire while no longer bonded to your tooth. This situation, while uncomfortable, can be temporarily managed until your emergency appointment at Esteem Dental.

Protruding or Broken Wires

When an archwire breaks or becomes displaced, it can poke the inside of your cheek or gums, causing significant discomfort. This orthodontic emergency requires quick intervention to prevent tissue damage. While waiting for your appointment, you can apply dental wax to the protruding end to minimize irritation. The Esteem Dental team can snip and adjust the wire during your emergency visit, providing immediate relief and repairing your braces properly.

Severe Discomfort or Pain

Orthodontic treatment occasionally causes discomfort, but sudden, severe pain might indicate a serious problem requiring emergency care. The team at Esteem Dental offers comprehensive orthodontic pain management solutions to address both the symptoms and underlying causes of your discomfort.

Temporary Solutions for Broken Braces

While awaiting your emergency appointment, certain temporary measures can help manage discomfort and prevent further damage to your orthodontic appliances.

Dental Wax Application

Orthodontic wax serves as a valuable tool for temporarily addressing broken braces issues. This soft, malleable material can be applied to protruding wires or broken brackets to minimize irritation to your cheeks, lips, and gums. Esteem Dental recommends cleaning the area gently before applying a small amount of dental wax to cover sharp edges.

Home Relief Techniques

For immediate relief from orthodontic emergencies, rinse your mouth with warm salt water to reduce irritation and prevent infection around broken components. Applying a cold compress to the outside of your mouth can help manage pain and swelling until your emergency appointment at Esteem Dental’s Orlando office.

Preventing Future Braces Emergencies

Proactive measures can significantly reduce your risk of experiencing broken braces emergencies in the future.

Dietary Considerations

Many orthodontic emergencies result from eating foods that can damage braces. Hard, sticky, or chewy foods pose particular risks to brackets and wires. The team at Esteem Dental offers personalized dietary guidance to help protect your orthodontic appliances from damage.

Regular Maintenance Appointments

Consistent check-ups allow Dr. Stephen Greene and the Esteem Dental team to identify and address potential issues before they become emergencies. Our comprehensive approach includes monitoring wire tension, bracket stability, and overall treatment progress to minimize emergency situations.
