After getting removable or fixed braces, it's completely normal to experience increased tooth sensitivity. Initially, your teeth need to adjust to the pressure exerted by the braces. This is especially true with fixed braces, where biting sensitivity and discomfort while chewing are common in the first few days.

However, if the sensitivity persists for a longer period, please call us and schedule an appointment at our specialist orthodontic practice in Munich.

If a bracket on your fixed braces becomes loose, it needs to be reattached as quickly as possible. A loose bracket means that the braces can no longer exert pressure on the affected tooth, causing it to stop moving in line with the other teeth.

If you or your child notice a loose bracket, please call our specialist orthodontic practice in Munich and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. This way, your orthodontist in Munich can reattach the bracket, and the tooth will once again be integrated into the braces system.

If the metal archwire of your fixed braces becomes loose in one or more places, it should be reattached as soon as possible. With a loose wire, the braces can no longer apply pressure to the affected tooth or teeth, causing them to stop moving in alignment with the others. If the metal archwire becomes loose outside of our office hours, you can try to carefully reinsert it into the bracket using tweezers.

In any case, you should contact our specialist orthodontic practice in Munich to schedule an appointment.

It can be very uncomfortable for the patient if the end of an archwire pokes or irritates the cheek. If this happens outside our office hours, you can try cutting the wire behind the last bracket. You can also cover the bothersome area with the protective wax provided by our specialist orthodontic practice in Munich. Simply apply the wax over the protruding wire end for yourself or your child. An exposed wire end can also cause irritation to the inside of your mouth, potentially leading to inflammation. Rinsing with a medicinal mouthwash or unsweetened chamomile tea can help soothe the discomfort.

Nevertheless, please schedule an appointment promptly to have the loose wire ends fixed by your orthodontist in Munich, Dr. Sebastian Krause.

Your orthodontist, Dr. Sebastian Krause, will then replace the rubber or wire ligature for you.
