Common urgent issues
Broken brackets, poking wires, lost retainers, cracked retainers, aligners not fitting, pain, or trauma may need advice or an appointment.
Why costs vary
Fees can depend on whether you are registered with the provider, whether replacement parts are needed, and whether the issue is part of active treatment.
When to seek help
Severe pain, swelling, trauma, or anything affecting breathing or swallowing should be treated as urgent medical or dental advice rather than routine orthodontic support.
