Emergency Appointments
At Bright Orthodontics, should an unexpected need for a visit arise, we will do our best to fit you into our schedule the same working day. Please always call ahead to make an appointment. After-hours orthodontic emergencies will be seen if the patient is in pain or feels it is necessary. Contact us at 281-610-2679 for a recorded message with contact information for qualified personnel who can assist you. For other emergencies, please contact your dentist or call 911.
Wire Poking In The Mouth
Clip the poking wire with sterilized nail clippers or a wire cutter. If the wire is still poking, place silicone over the end of the wire. If the irritation continues, please call our office so we may schedule an appointment to clip the wire.
Loose Bracket
A loose bracket can generally be left in place until seen by our office. Call the office if you notice a loose bracket so that we can schedule an appointment to reattach the loose appliance. Please remember to bring any broken parts to the office when you come in for the repair.
