Comfort Appointments
Ouch! Problems with braces can be uncomfortable-call us and we'll get you fixed up.
Loose or broken bracket
Broken/loose brackets can happen. Call the office during business hours, and we'll get you in for a comfort visit or rebond the bracket at your next scheduled appointment.
Long or poking wire
Try nudging the wire flat with a fingertip and use wax over the end. Wires are sometimes left long on purpose to allow tooth movement. Call us — not your general dentist — if it stays uncomfortable and we'll clip it.
Loose expander, appliance, or retainer
Let us know during business hours and we'll get you in as soon as we can to make the appliance comfortable and keep your treatment on schedule.
Trauma to the mouth or teeth
For a sports injury, fall, or hard contact to the face where teeth are broken, missing, or badly moved: contact your general dentist immediately, or an emergency room or urgent care after hours. Then call our office so we can coordinate your orthodontic care.
Reaching us
Call (402) 420-2400 during office hours and leave your name, a callback number, and a short description if you reach voicemail — we return calls as quickly as we can.
Mon–Thu 7:30am – 4:30pm · Fri 8:00am – 12:00pm. Friday is administrative only. Closed on major holidays.
