Emergency Orthodontic Care Corpus Christi TX
 In order for your treatment to be effective, your braces, Invisalign, or other orthodontic appliances need to be in good working order at all times. Here at Star Orthodontics, we understand that accidents happen, which is why we offer emergency services for our patients. Quick fixes can make a big difference in your comfort and results, and we encourage anyone who needs us to repair a broken bracket or loose wire to call your local Corpus Christi orthodontics office as soon as possible so that we can take care of the problem. Once you call, we can set up a time for you to come in outside of your regular appointment schedule.
Common Emergencies We See
The team at Star Orthodontics has seen a wide range of situations, and chances are that yours is just as common as any other patient's issue. Some of the most frequent emergencies that we encounter include the following:
| • |
Broken or loose brackets and bands: A loose or broken bracket or band needs to be reattached as soon as possible, so leave it in place if it is still attached or bring it with you to your appointment if it has fallen off completely.
|
| • |
Wire out of place: When a wire slides out of a buccal tube, it can begin to irritate your mouth. Call to set up a time for us to put it back in place.
|
| • |
Lost tie wires, elastic ties, or separators: In some cases, these items will need to be replaced as soon as possible, but sometimes they can wait until your next appointment. Call us to find out for sure. |
There are some problems that do not necessarily warrant an emergency trip to our office. If you experience any of the following, consider waiting to call us unless you have serious concerns.
| • |
Sores or ulcers
|
| • |
Discomfort caused by regular treatment
|
| • |
Wire irritations |
