If it is NOT painful, eat soft food and eat on a side, away from the breakage to prevent any further damage to the brace. We may wish for you to come in sooner than your next appointment. If it is PAINFUL, we are happy to see you urgently. The offending part could be covered with orthodontic wax, Babybel wax or chewing gum temporarily. At the weekend or if you are on holiday, please carry out any emergency treatment necessary to make you more comfortable - through an emergency dentist or DIY using nail clippers to cut long wires if possible. If there has been an accidental injury to your mouth or face, resulting in a severe breakage or a knock to your teeth, you may need to go straight away to a hospital A&E. Don't worry about the brace itself, we will fix it as necessary.
