Frequently Asked Questions About Broken Braces or Wire
What should I do if a wire is poking my cheek?
Use a pencil eraser or cotton swab to gently push the wire flat against the tooth. Apply orthodontic wax over the poking end for comfort. If you can't fix it at home, call us for a same-day repair visit.
Is a broken bracket an emergency?
A single loose bracket isn't usually urgent, but don't leave it too long - it can slow your treatment progress. If the bracket is poking you or causing pain, come in for a quick fix. We'll get you comfortable!
Can I fix broken braces at home?
Temporary fixes include using orthodontic wax on sharp edges, tucking loose wires with tweezers, and rinsing with salt water for sore spots. These are temporary - schedule a repair visit with us as soon as possible.
Will a broken wire delay my orthodontic treatment?
A short delay in repair usually won't affect your overall timeline. However, leaving broken components unfixed for weeks can slow progress. The sooner we repair it, the better your treatment stays on track.
How much does an emergency braces repair cost?
Most emergency repairs for our orthodontic patients are included in your treatment plan at no extra cost. If you're not currently a patient, we'll give you a clear price before we begin. We accept most insurance!
