Emergencies - Loose/Broken Retainer

If our office is not open, and you are not in pain, you may wait until the next business day to contact our office for repair

Broken Removable Retainers: Please call the office if your removable retainer is bent, broken or lost.

Fixed Retainers: If a wire becomes dislodged from the back of your teeth, insulate the area with wax and call the office for an appointment.
If the attached wire comes out completely, save the wire, call the office and make sure you bring the wire with you to the repair appointment.
