Your Tangelo Team will do everything in their power to make your treatment as carefree as possible. But, what should you do if something isn’t quite right with your braces?

Poking Wire

For discomfort from a poking wire, the special orthodontic wax in your new patient kit will become your temporary best friend. Just take a small piece, ball it up and squish it around the offending wire. This will get you back to comfortable until it is convenient for you to come in.

Rubbing / Pinching of the Cheeks

Rubbing or pinching of the cheeks can occur until you are fully adjusted to your new braces. For relief during the adjustment period, take a small piece of orthodontic wax from your new patient kit and place it over the bracket or wire in the sore area.

Loose Bracket

Loose brackets can be uncomfortable, but thankfully are not generally an emergency. Typically, a loose bracket will stay attached to the wire and can be covered with wax if bothersome. If the bracket has come off of the wire, please save it for reattachment. In either case, just give our office a call and we will find a convenient time for you to come in.
