Breakages & Emergencies

Looking After Yourself

When having your fixed brace fitted you will be shown a video and given an information leaflet explaining how your brace works and how best to look after it. It is vital that you stick to the rules when wearing a fixed brace. Eating the wrong foods / wearing the wrong mouth guard / biting on pens and fingernails can all result in breakages of the brace which in the long term can extend your treatment time.

If you have a problem with your brace please contact us and we will do our best to get you an appointment as soon as possible.

Emergency appointments will be booked when slots are available.

If you have a problem which requires urgent clinical attention outside of practice hours please call our emergency line on 07760 757166 available Monday - Friday 5:30pm - 9:00pm Saturday 9:00am - 5:00pm Sunday 9:00am - 1:00pm
