What is a true orthodontic emergency?

True emergencies are rare: facial trauma, severe pain, infection. Most issues (loose bracket, poking wire) are uncomfortable but can wait a few days.

What if a wire is poking my cheek?

Push the wire flat with a clean eraser or cover the end with orthodontic wax. Call the clinic to schedule a quick adjustment.

A bracket fell off, what should I do?

Keep the piece, avoid hard foods and call Ortho Laval at 450 934-7700 to schedule a repair.

What if I'm away from Laval?

For severe trauma, go to the nearest emergency room. Otherwise contact us — we'll guide you remotely.
