Wire or the bracket hurting.

Q. The wire is poking me / a bracket broke causing the wire / bracket to hurt me. What can I do?

1. Please apply the orthodontic wax which is provided in your self care kit given to you on the first appointment , at the point of irritation.

2. In case you have lost the orthodontic wax please wet a small piece of cotton and place it at the point of irritation.

3. If the end is accessible, try using a clean nail cutter to snip the end.

4. One could use a clean eraser end of a pencil and try to press the wire towards the teeth and away from cheek.

5. If none of the above methods work please call us up. We may call you to the clinic to cut the wire or remove the broken brace to make u comfortable. However any kind of repair procedure will be scheduled only after things are back to normal.
