It takes 20 to 30 minutes to set up new braces after an orthodontist has examined the case. When you call an orthodontist’s office or clinic asking for an emergency time to check the condition of your braces, you will be notified the same day or a day or two before your scheduled time to replace or repair your fixed orthodontic brackets as soon as possible.
Note that missing a dental arch or two is not always the case, and in some cases you can wait until it’s time for your next visit. In most cases, if you don’t feel pain or a loss of orthodontic wire, you don’t need an orthodontic emergency.
If part of the arch is missing, you need emergency orthodontic time.
Note that if part of your arch is broken, be sure to contact the orthodontic clinic and describe the situation so that emergency orthodontic treatment can be provided if necessary. When part of the bracket is removed, keep it with you when you present it to your orthodontist. In some cases, the patient swallows the broken part. In this case, the patient should eat a diet rich in fiber from fruits and salads to quickly eliminate the swallowed portion to prevent digestive problems.
Sometimes the patient swallows the rubber band, if he is not allergic to the plastic, it is not a particular problem for him and he will push it after 2-3 days.
