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 - just detach the whole head from the mouth like in this video, LOL
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 ❤
Thanks helped a lot
You saved my life
Ty so much, now i can perform this to my patient
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.
I know I’m really late but what do you do whenever it like broke off? If that makes sense?
Bentis is cool
Doest it affect the treatment of other teeth?
I’m trying this tomorrow. Wish me luck😂

@@Mrbensharpy_2815You can do this too, just did it myself. Line it up at either side of the bracket, then push it up till the end catches on the hole its supposed to go. After this, put pressure on a certain point of the bent arch, such that the line pushes into the hole slowly. I can't really describe how else to do this other than to do it gently and slowly so that the line doesn't skid off to the side instead and risk it dragging against your gums or the lining of your cheeks. it'll def take a few tries.
Im probably gonna be an orthodontist instead of a. Doctor ive been watching so much lately
mf my mouth is in the way
These little things that look like screws sticking out of the bracket, is that supposed to be normal?
it keeps getting pushed against my gum instead, do yk how to prevent this?
imagine your dentist pulled up one of these in the middle of your appointment
this just happened to me except it bent, will this still work?? 😭

Hi, to be safe, it would be better to check with your orthodontist/dentist in person. :)

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

It would be best to contact your orthodontist/dentist to trim the wire. In the meantime, you may use wax to cover it. Please see this video :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/X6ipxbOOn7SZh6Q.html
What if the wire came on from the middle of the mouth and not at the last bracket

Unless the wire is broken, it is usually possible to just push the wire back in especially if it is a flexible wire. :)

Hi! It depends on what type of wire it is. If it is a Niti wire which is usually used in the early stage ( first few months) of the treatment, the wire should have a memory to spring back and would still work fine most of the time. It is best to be checked by your treating doctor. :)
