Broken braces and poking wires occasionally occur. These problems are not usually a true emergency nature. If the problem should occur during office hours, please give us a call so we can schedule an appointment to fix the damage. If it is in the evening, it can usually wait until the next day or, if it is a weekend, until the following Monday. However, if you feel it cannot wait, please don’t hesitate to call the office. The answering service will contact Dr. Hershcopf and he will respond as soon as possible.
