Orthodontic emergency

Do you have an orthodontic emergency?

A loose bracket, a poking wire, a shortage of elastics, etc.? We do not consider these issues to be urgent. For such problems, we typically provide a solution right here on this website.

Most brace-related issues can wait until your next appointment, but in the following cases, you should contact us immediately:

Severe pain caused by a loose part of your braces or retention wire.
Sores that keep bleeding or become infected due to a loose component.
A damaged or completely missing retention wire (semi-urgent).
A loose hook (semi-urgent).

Are you dealing with an emergency over the weekend or are you on a holiday with severe pain or a wound? In that case, please call the orthodontic emergency service at 070 22 20 88.
