Wire is stuck inside of cheek, cannot get it out. what should we do? my daughter has braces, her wire is stuck inside of her cheek, it does not hurt, but the wire is stuck in there, and we cannot get it out. her orthodontist appointment is on monday.

Staten : Staten island, we just got this and monday is today. Hopefully your already at her orthodontist and it's out. Otherwise you need to be headed there. Hope this is helpful, michael i. Wollock, dmd, agd fellow dentistry at suburban square 610-649-0313 www.Dentistryatsuburbansquare.Com.

If : If you can't get her in to see her orthodontist, any dentist can help, or your local emergency room.

Clip it/wax: Wire sometimes will protrude from the back teeth due to spaces being closed, wire is bent from chewing on something hard and becomes dislodged from the bracket. If it is very long (>3mm) clip it off. If it is not too long (you are unable to get a hold of it with a clipper) then use your wax and make an appt with your orthodontic office to hapokeyve them repair it or clip it.

Call Orthodontist: Call your orthodontist and report the problem. He will probably see you right away to resolve it. If you can't get there, perhaps you can clip the wire, or cover the sticker with wax, until you can get to the orthodontist.

See a dentist today: Go see your dentist/orthodontist today. They can remove the wire before it causes an infection or larger wound. Don't wait until monday.
