An orthodontic emergency, whether it is experienced by your teeth, gums, brackets, wires, or elsewhere, can have severe ramifications if ignored, especially when effects are permanent or require extensive, expensive treatment in the future. Here are the top orthodontic emergencies you should know about:
Bleeding gums is a common symptom of gum disease. There are chances that bleeding gums can be caused by brushing our teeth too aggressively, or from an orthodontic wire poking you. However, most bleeding tends to come from gingivitis or gum disease. This occurs when bacteria are stuck to our teeth, which resulted in the build-up of plaque. If the plaque is not removed, it can harden into tartar, which irritates our gums and increases the chances of bleeding and periodontitis.
A wire that breaks or protrudes out of a bracket or band can poke your cheek, tongue, or gums, so try using the eraser end of a pencil to push the wire into a more comfortable position. If repositioning the bracket or wire is unmanageable, cover the end with orthodontic wax, a small cotton ball, or a piece of gauze until you arrive at our office. Do not cut the wire because that could result in swallowing it or breathing it into your lungs.
Reattach loose brackets with a small piece of orthodontic wax to supply a cushion until you can make it to our office. If the bracket has broken off completely, save it because it can be recemented or replaced by our office.
