Our
Office
has become the
'the place
to be' for
the orthodontic treatment of many of the kids
and teens in the Chino Valley area of
Southern California. One look at the relaxed
and pleasant ocean and surfing themed surroundings
and you'll see why. Our
adult patients agree
too! |

| What
to do in case of emergency! |
| Call our office as soon as possible if you break
or loosen any of your appliances. Please do not
come directly to the office – by calling us,
you will allow us to create a time to see you. Even
if you have a regular appointment scheduled, call
us immediately to notify us if you need an appliance
repaired. |
 |
| Loose
brackets or bands |
| Call our office immediately for advice if a brace
or wire is loosened. The brace may need to be re-fitted
as soon as possible. You may have a situation that
requires cutting a wire or sliding a bracket off
a wire at night or over the weekend. If you need
to cut a wire in case of emergency, you may use
fingernail clippers that have been washed and sterilized
in alcohol. Please call our office the next business
day so that we may schedule an appointment for you.
|
| Wire
irritations |
Sometimes discomfort caused by a wire on your braces
can be resolved by moving the wire away from the
irritated area with a cotton swab or eraser. If
the wire will not move, try covering the end of
it with a small piece of cotton or a small amount
of wax. If the wire is painful, you can cut it with
nail clippers or scissors that have been washed
and sterilized in alcohol. If you cannot resolve
the wire irritation, call our office for an appointment.
|
| Lost
separators
|
| Most patients lose a separator during their treatment.
Do not worry about losing a separator, but call
our office to see if it needs to be replaced. |
| Discomfort
with Orthodontic Treatment
|
| During the first week after your braces are in
place and routine adjustments are complete, you
will likely feel some pain, soreness, or discomfort.
You may take acetaminophen or other non-aspirin
pain relievers while you adjust to your new braces.
A warm wash cloth or heating pad may reduce the
soreness in your jaws. |
|

at no charge.
