Should you suffer from pains then this normally occurs during the first few days after a dental bracket has been fitted or readjusted. Avoid eating hard food during this period. Painkillers are normally not required. You should come to us without delay should you suffer from pains over a longer period of time.<\/p>\n<h3>Pressure marks<\/h3>\n<p>Please make a check-up appointment in our practice without delay, should you suffer from pressure marks affecting the lips, the cheeks, the gums or the tongue.The covering of the disturbing parts of the dental bracket with wax can bring about short-term alleviation.<\/p>\n<h3>Loose brackets or bands<\/h3>\n<p>Loose brackets or bands should be quickly retightened in order to ensure a trouble-free functioning of the dental bracket and in order to prevent the teeth from being affected by caries and decalcification. You do not normally need to consult the emergency dental service. Please make an SOS appointment in our practice as quickly as possible so that the bracket or band can be reattached soon.<\/p>\n<h3>Defective removable dental appliance<\/h3>\n<p>Bent or broken brackets are unable to correctly fulfill their function. Wobbly milk teeth or new remaining teeth that are breaking through can also impair the seating of the removable dental brackets. Please make an SOS appointment in our practice as soon as possible so that we can have the dental bracket repaired immediately by our in-house laboratory.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-b49e2400b396bc9a8 fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_b49e2400b396bc9a8\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"b49e2400b396bc9a8\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-3538-1\" data-target=\"#b49e2400b396bc9a8\" href=\"#b49e2400b396bc9a8\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Do my child\u00b4s remaining teeth need to be extracted?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"b49e2400b396bc9a8\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_b49e2400b396bc9a8\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">When providing classic orthodontic treatment, orthodontists are often forced to extract remaining teeth if there should not be sufficient space for all of them. This lack of space is easily discernible as the teeth are positioned out of line with each other or they are even interlocked with each other. Nobody wants to have remaining teeth extracted however and especially not when they are healthy. Not only that: a smile that shows all of the teeth is normally more natural, harmonius and more attractive.<\/p>\n<p>With the Damon system, modern orthodontics has made a quantum leap in the direction of a gentler, careful and more biological treatment. We are able to create more space in a gentle manner by working with the body\u00b4s normal adaptability. This means that we are almost always able to dispense with the extraction of remaining teeth.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box
