What should I do if my brace is broken?
- You should contact us as soon as possible if you think your brace is broken. We will advise you what to do.
- In the meantime:
- If part of the fixed brace is broken and is causing irritation or rubbing, then apply the protective orthodontic wax to cover the offending component of the fixed brace to make the surface smoother.
- If your removable brace is broken do not wear it if it is uncomfortable or is at risk of being dislodged.
- If your headbrace is broken or keeps on coming loose, stop wearing it and contact us as soon as you can for advice.
- During an emergency visit, the orthodontist will make your brace comfortable. The broken brace may not be repaired until a later visit.
