Emergency? Get Seen Today!
Don't suffer in pain - call now for immediate care.
Pull into the plaza next to Target off North Academy Boulevard and tell the front desk it's an ortho emergency. We'll pull you out of the standard check-in flow and get an assistant looking at the appliance before the paperwork is finished.

Bilingual ortho-benefits verification at check-in
Our front desk runs your spouse's employer PPO or family plan in English or Spanish before you sit down, so you know whether the repair falls under your active ortho benefit or counts as a separate visit. You get the number before we touch the wire.
3
Wax-and-wait protocol for after-hours breaks
If you call after we close, we'll walk you through covering the sharp wire or bracket with orthodontic wax over the phone and hold a Saturday slot — Saturday hours run 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, so a Friday-night break doesn't need an ER.

Why Broken Braces or Wire Can't Wait — Colorado Springs
Dental emergencies get worse by the hour. The sooner you act, the better the outcome.
✓
A protruding archwire or sharp bracket edge keeps rubbing the cheek and tongue, and the soft-tissue lacerations get worse every hour the appliance sits uncovered.
✓
A debonded bracket or dislodged band means the tooth it was anchoring is no longer being moved — every day that passes can push your next scheduled adjustment back and stretch total treatment time.
✓
Chewy, hard, or sticky foods on a compromised appliance tend to break more components, turning a single re-bond into multiple repairs and repeat visits.

What's Included in Your Broken Braces or Wire — Colorado Springs
Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Colorado Springs, CO for broken braces or wire:
1.
Broken-component identification on the appliance
We walk the full arch to locate exactly what failed — debonded bracket, protruding archwire, dislodged band, or loose separator — before we touch anything, so the repair matches the actual break.
2.
Enamel etch, prime, and adhesive re-bond
Debonded brackets are cleaned, the enamel is etched and primed, and the bracket is re-bonded with orthodontic adhesive in the original position.
3.
Distal-end cutter trim or tuck-under
Protruding archwires are shortened with distal-end cutters or tucked under the adjacent bracket so the end no longer digs into the buccal mucosa.
4.
Glass-ionomer band re-cementation
Dislodged bands are cleaned of old cement and re-cemented with glass-ionomer cement; loose separators are swapped for fresh ones in the same visit.
5.
Soft-tissue irrigation for appliance lacerations
Any cheek or tongue laceration caused by the broken component is irrigated and managed with a chlorhexidine rinse protocol before you leave.
6.
Adjustment-schedule reset decision
We tell you whether the next scheduled orthodontic adjustment gets advanced because of the repair, and we flag repeat breakage that may warrant a dietary conversation or an appliance design change.

Frequently Asked Questions About Broken Braces or Wire
Where exactly is your Colorado Springs office and where do I park for an emergency wire repair?
We're at 5150 North Academy Boulevard, Colorado Springs, CO 80918 — in the shopping plaza next to the Target on Academy. Park in the shared surface lot right in front; you won't need a garage or a meter, and you can walk straight in with a poking wire.
If my kid's bracket pops off Friday night, when's the earliest you can see them?
Call us at (719) 413-8133. We're open Saturday 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, so a Friday-evening break usually gets handled the next morning before the weekend gets away from you.
Do you bill our orthodontic benefits directly if treatment started at a different office?
Yes — bring your insurance card and any paperwork from the original ortho provider. Our front desk verifies your benefits before you sit in the chair so you know what's covered before we re-bond or trim anything.
Can the repair happen today, or do we need to come back?
Most broken-bracket re-bonds and protruding-wire trims are same-visit. If a band has dislodged or a separator needs replacement, we can usually still handle it the same appointment — we'll tell you up front, not halfway through.

What makes our Colorado Springs office unique for broken braces or wire
Broken Braces or Wire for Colorado Springs Families
Broken brackets and poking wires don't wait for a convenient moment — they happen mid-lunch at a Falcon District 49 middle school or right before a Saturday soccer game at Cottonwood Creek Park. Our Colorado Springs office sits at 5150 North Academy Boulevard, in the retail strip just north of the Academy-and-Vickers crossroads and right next to the Target, so families coming down from Briargate or up from the Pikes Peak Avenue corridor can pull in without fighting I-25 traffic.
We see a lot of bilingual households from across Security-Widefield and the east side who've already paid for orthodontics through a spouse's employer PPO and just need the wire tucked or the bracket re-bonded before Monday morning — not another referral across town. Saturday hours until 2 PM mean a broken appliance on Friday night doesn't have to wreck the weekend or cost a missed school day.
