Broken Bracket
It’s best to keep the bracket in its intended place if you can, so if it’s still attached to the wire, apply a special orthodontic wax to it to keep it against the tooth. A broken bracket can cut or irritate the soft tissues in your mouth, so rinse with salt water to soothe any minor injuries you might have experienced.
Poking Wire
Your goal should be to stop the wire from poking your gums or the inside of your cheeks. You can either move it to a more comfortable spot with a Q-tip or cover it with wax. If you decide to cut the end off (which should only be done as a last resort), use a tissue or something of the like to catch the wire.
Oral Pain & Soreness
It’s important to be able to tell the difference between normal soreness and pain that could indicate the presence of an emergency. Regular orthodontic discomfort occurs after the braces are attached to the teeth or whenever they’re adjusted; it can be controlled with a soft diet and periodic salt water rinses. You should call our orthodontic office if the pain lasts longer than it should.
