Make an emergency appointment at the orthodontic practice to have the band reattached if your ring comes loose.
If you’re experiencing pain from a ring or bracket, you can start by using your orthodontic wax.
If the pain persists, don’t hesitate to contact the practitioner.
Elastomeric ligatures bring teeth closer together.
Occasionally, a ligature may break under masticatory stress or by rubbing against the plates. The ligature must be replaced as soon as possible at the surgery.
Call the practitioner to adjust the wire position if necessary.
If there is still significant discomfort during our office’s closing hours, any dentist – even one who does not specialize in orthodontics – will be able to relieve you by cutting or grinding the offending part of your appliance.
Make an urgent appointment at the office immediately, so that the practitioner can examine and solve your discomfort problem without compromising the durability of the treatment.
