Broken Braces or Wire for Aurora Families
Broken brackets and poking archwires don't respect the school calendar in the 80012 corridor. We see kids showing up after the last bell at Gateway High and Aurora Central, and parents pulling off I-225 on their way home from Anschutz or Buckley before dinner. The Mississippi Ave. office sits a mile east of the Town Center at Aurora mall, which means ortho emergencies from the Del Mar Park, Utah Park, and Hoffman Heights neighborhoods can be handled before the archwire gouges a cheek for another 24 hours. Aurora's bilingual households — many on a spouse's commercial PPO from employers around DIA or the Anschutz Medical Campus — expect the front desk to verify an ortho-repair benefit in Spanish without a callback. We keep a distal-end cutter and orthodontic wax at the chair so a poking wire on a Thursday evening doesn't cost a kid two school days and a referral across town.
