Orthodontic emergency treatment
Do you wear braces? Well, traditional braces consist of metal brackets and wires. These wires can sometimes snap if heavy forces are applied or even if your brush is too hard. The brackets are placed on the teeth with the help of dental cement. When the cement chips or wears off, it can dislodge the bracket. These loose or snapped wires can injure your mouth and halt your orthodontic treatment. With our out-of-hours emergency appointments, you can now get such orthodontic emergencies treated promptly.
