If you or your child recently received metal braces, you’ll need to get used to wearing the metal hardware. While it is rare, an orthodontic emergency can occur. If you’re eating certain foods that you should be avoiding, or you experience facial trauma, parts of your hardware can move around, causing irritation and discomfort to your gums and cheeks.
That’s why your orthodontist in Canfield is offering solutions to emergencies commonly associated with braces. Some of these can be dealt with at home, however, others may require you to get to your orthodontist.
