Orthodontic emergencies happen all the time. During the course of treatment with braces, there is a high chance that a bracket is going to break. When that happens, sometimes a wire starts to poke the cheeks or lips and is uncomfortable.
Your child comes to you and says something broke and a wire is poking. It’s after hours and you get a hold of your orthodontist over the phone. The orthodontist suggests that you clip the wire with small wire cutters nearest to the bracket that is secure.
