Common Emergencies | Palmetto Family Orthodontics

Please contact our office as soon as possible in case of an emergency. We will be more than happy to accommodate you with an emergency appointment that day or at your earliest convenience. If the emergency occurs after office hours or on a weekend, our answering service will instruct you on how to proceed with contacting one of our team members.

Call us if...

A wire, bracket or band breaks: unwanted tooth movement can occur, which increases treatment time.
Poking wires or irritations: from time to time your oral cavity may become irritated due to your appliances.
Lost spacers: spacers accomplish a very specific goal, if you lose one please call so that we can replace it if needed.
Extreme pain: intense pain is not normal and should be addressed immediately.
