Your First Visit
After being greeted and quickly checked in by our front desk, the patient will be escorted to their treatment room (if you’re with your child, you’ll be able to accompany them). There, we’ll take a few X-rays and photos of the patient’s mouth, and then their orthodontist will give them an exam. They’ll discuss their findings, make treatment recommendations, and put together an ongoing care plan based on a patient’s (or their parent’s) input.

Tips to Manage Common Orthodontic Emergencies
When it comes to orthodontic emergencies, knowing what to do is easy: call Simply Orthodontics Grafton! This allows us to learn about your situation and let you know what you should do next. Typically, the biggest issue people have is knowing whether or not they have an emergency in the first place, but we’ll make this easy for you as well—always give us a call if you’re experiencing any issues or pain related to an orthodontic appliance. Before you’re able to reach our orthodontic office, there are a few things you can do on your own to take control of the situation:
Need Immediate Help? Call Us Send Us a Message
Broken Bracket
Is the bracket still attached to the wire? If so, try to gently push it back into its original position, then cover it with orthodontic wax (which we’ll give you, or you can find it at your local pharmacy). If the bracket is completely off the wire, put it in a safe container and remember to bring it with you when you come to our orthodontic office.
Poking Wire
A Q-tip or pencil eraser can be used to push the wire so it isn’t poking the nearby cheek or gums. You can also cover the area with some dental wax. If neither of these help, go ahead and give us a call, and we’ll be able to snip the wire and make sure it fits comfortably.
Oral Pain & Soreness
It’s perfectly normal to experience some slight soreness and tenderness after having braces put on, adjusted, or switching to a new Invisalign tray. This can usually be managed with an OTC medication and should go away after just a few days. However, if the discomfort persists for about a week, this means something might be wrong, so contact us right away.
