How to fix a loose wire from braces (Orthodontic emergency)

This video shows how to replace an arch wire that has come out of the tube at the back of the mouth. This usually happens at the early stage of the treatment as the wire is thin and soft, therefore it is relatively easier to be replaced too.

yeah it's easy when you don't have your mouth in the way

[LuisBragagnolo]

Thank you! I was able to do it! It is a little work, you can ask to somebody for help, but it took me literal 45 seconds.

I didn't think I'd make it but if you're patient and careful enough, you can reattach it ❤

[hastijuanti]

Omgg just did it ...this is so helpful
I put a cotton in my mouth then do the instruction

[Taystee]

I’m gonna try this but i think what i have is a little different. The wire connects to my molar and the tooth next to it, it’s a completely seperate wire than the one on the rest of my teeth.
I went back to my orthodontist three days after they put it on because it came out, I don’t want to go back again cause it’s an hour drive.

Ty so much, now i can perform this to my patient

[crisitmmm]

I tried it and it actually worked! But it’s still a tiny bot loose… only do this if you know how to, if not I recommend going back to your orthodontist

What is the name of the instrument you used?

[ShadowWitch]

It happened to me today and I freaked out for a sec, but then as I always think "nah I can fix this easy" and did just that. But I did freaked out a little

[lordferro]

I’m trying this tomorrow. Wish me luck😂

[Villains-iheg]

I know I’m really late but what do you do whenever it like broke off? If that makes sense?

[minionleadergru]

imagine your dentist pulled up one of these in the middle of your appointment

[DuddeYT]

just wash your hands, bend it with your hand, then pop it in place, it feels weird for a little bit because you just had it out but it’ll be better just don’t eat for a bit, or don’t eat on the side where it got popped out

[ffu]

Im probably gonna be an orthodontist instead of a. Doctor ive been watching so much lately

[neginhadisadegh]

Doest it affect the treatment of other teeth?

[xlverrx]

this just happened to me except it bent, will this still work?? 😭

[kionfabian]

I tried it and it made it worse so I have to go in the morning

[princesslili]

it keeps getting pushed against my gum instead, do yk how to prevent this?

[ot_ido]

What if the wire came on from the middle of the mouth and not at the last bracket

[BiancaBojan]

What to do if the wire is too long and pokes the cheek?
