True orthodontic emergencies are rare, but when they occur we are available to you (day or night). As a general rule, you should call our office when you experience severe pain or have a painful appliance problem you can’t take care of yourself. We’ll be able to schedule an appointment to resolve the problem.
In the event of an after-hours need, you can call or text our on-call phone at (402) 680-8392.
You might be surprised to learn that you may be able to solve many problems yourself temporarily until you can get to our office.
After alleviating your discomfort, it is very important that you still call our office as soon as possible to schedule a time to repair the problem. Allowing your appliance to remain damaged for an extended period of time may result in disruptions to your treatment plan.
The lips, cheeks, and tongue may become irritated for one to two weeks as they learn a new posture and become accustomed to the surface of the braces or retainer. If your appliance is poking you, place wax on the offending part.
If your bracket or band is still attached to the wire, you should leave it in place and put wax on it if needed for comfort. If the bracket or band can be removed easily, place it in an envelope and save it to bring to your next appointment.
Using a pair of tweezers or needle-nosed pliers, try to put your wire back into place. It is okay to use a piece of floss to tie the wire into place: tie the floss around the bracket in place of the missing colored o-ring. If you cannot put the wire into a comfortable position, and covering the end with wax doesn’t help, as a last resort use a small fingernail clipper to clip the wire behind the last tooth to which it is securely fastened. If the end of the wire is still sharp place wax on it.
Using a pencil eraser, push the poking wire down or place wax on it so that it is no longer poking.
When you have braces, it’s very important to make sure you are brushing and flossing properly after every meal in order to keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout your orthodontic treatment. If you need help choosing the right toothbrush, toothpaste or dental floss, we will be happy to help you make the proper selection.

Step 1: Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gum.
Step 2: Brush gently in a circular motion.
Step 3: Brush the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces of each tooth.
Step 4: Use the tip of your brush for the inner surface of your front teeth.
Step 1: Using a piece of floss about 18 inches long, carefully thread the end between braces and wire. You may find a floss threader helpful.
Step 2: Carefully floss around the braces.
Step 3: Carefully floss around the gum areas.
Step 4: Carefully floss around each tooth.Weber Orthodontics honored Elkhorn Valley View Middle School math teacher Barb Baumert as this year’s Weber Orthodontics 2017 Teacher of the Year during an all school assembly last Friday, May 19. A student at the school nominated Mrs. Baumert, who is retiring this year, to be awarded for her positive influence and lasting impact on students during her decades as an educator. The school’s principle, Chad Soupir, announced the award, reading the winning essay aloud.
“We are committed to recognizing educators that have a positive impact on our community, and Mrs. Baumert exudes those characteristics,” said Dr. Weber. “This essay stood out of the more than 300 entries, because despite what the Baumert family has been through, she has clearly remained a great motivator for her students. It is an honor to recognize Mrs. Baumert for her contributions over the years.”
The nominating student wrote that Mrs. Baumert “told me that I deserve to be happy and should stop doubting myself” after he received a perfect score on a test. He went on to say the teacher is the reason why he has followed his dreams, and her encouragement gave him more self-confidence.
The contest was a first for Weber Orthodontics. Dr. Tom Weber constantly strives to give back to the surrounding communities by holding contests, drives and appreciation events. Schools play an important part in the practice’s success, since they must frequently excuse students for appointments.
Congratulations Mrs. Baumert, from everyone at Weber Orthodontics! Enjoy your retirement.

Correcting malocclusion, or an incorrect bite, improves oral and digestive health, while reducing jaw and mouth pain.
