Orthodonic Problems – Quick Reference Guide

During the course of treatment your braces will go through a lot of wear and tear; this is completely normal. Because of this we want to provide you with a go-to-guide of what should be treated as an urgent problem or what can wait until your next appointment.

To ensure we have adequate time to see you and properly treat your problem, always call ahead and schedule an appointment. We also ask for understanding in knowing we try our hardest to offer the most convenient appointment times for our patients. However, when we have a full schedule of regular patients you may have to wait or come in at a less convenient time for your emergency appointment.

BRACKETS – Occasionally, brackets come loose even when patients are following instructions properly. Unless one of the following situations applies, YOU MAY WAIT UNTIL YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT TO FIX THE BRACKET.

You are hurting

If the bracket that is off is one that a rubber band attaches to

You are getting your braces off at your next appointment, or the doctor or one of his assistants has told you specifically you need to have the bracket replaced if it breaks

If it has been less than two weeks since we put your braces on

WIRES – If the wire comes out of one or a few individual brackets you do not need to schedule an additional appointment. This will not interfere with treatment. If one of the following occurs you should call and schedule an appointment to be seen.

A wire is poking or hurting you

The entire wire is completely out of the braces

You have had your braces on for less than two weeks

COLOR TIES – It is never an emergency if you lose an individual color tie. Always wait until your next appointment to replace the color tie.

POWER CHAIN – If you ever break a power chain or it starts to come off, you need to schedule an appointment so we can make sure the power chain is in place. If you wait to be seen with this problem it could possibly alter treatment.

APPLIANCES (Expander, Herbst, etc) – Any time you have a problem with an appliance, you should always call the office and speak with an assistant; they should be the judge of whether you should be seen immediately or wait until your next appointment.

UNCOVERY – Anytime you have any type of problem or a question with a tooth that either an oral surgeon or doctor is working on as an uncovery; always call the office as soon as possible so we may evaluate the area.

RETAINER – IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOUR RETAINER IS WORKING PROPERLY AT ALL TIMES. IF YOU EVER LOOSE OR BREAK YOUR RETAINER YOU NEED TO CALL THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WITHOUT YOUR RETAINER YOU ARE RISKING YOUR TEETH MOVING OR SHIFTING.

Security – It’s all about Access Control

A regular, everyday key does provide a certain level of security for you, your family and your property. The problem with a key however, is that it can be lost, stolen or copied. Once copied or found, individuals can easily gain access to your home.

Smart Lock Technology

What if you could find a way to ensure that your locks are opened only by those who are authorized to do so via a specifically matched device? Well now you can. Smart locks use wireless technology to recognize a link between the lock and a smart device, (like a smartphone) that has been issued with the security app and the correct virtual key. Rest assured, the virtual key is encrypted.

A smart lock can provide extra protection as well as unique options for you and your family. This security option uses a combination of different types of technology, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, advanced recognition technology and access codes, to recognize those who are authorized to open the lock.

When the authorized person and their corresponding smart device nears the front door of the home which has a smart door lock installed, the entry way can light up and then the lock itself slides open smoothly and efficiently, with no physical key required.

This type of technology is becoming more sophisticated and more popular all the time. As more homeowners choose to have their residence equipped with smart technology, we will see smart door locks become more commonplace, combining smart locks with security and the customization and convenience of remote access.

Ways Smart Locks Can Be Used In Your Daily Life
Here are a few examples of how smart locks can be used in your day-to-day life:

The technology can sense when you get close to your front door and unlock it automatically. You won’t have to fumble with keys anymore.
During the school year, set up the app so that you receive a notification when your children arrive home each day.
Get notifications sent to your tablet or phone if the power is interrupted at your home or there is an intruder alert.
Find out which type of home locks are best for you and your family by calling your San Antonio locksmith experts at ACE Security today. Our experts are here for you.
