Do Orthodontists take walk in visits?

Question

He is my Main orthodontist. He did my braces. I am in severe pain. My aunt is having my cousin take me to the orthodontist after my Ears, nose & throat appt. The thing is i don't have an appointment with my orthodontist but my aunt said they should be able to check it out. What do you think? Will they let me come in like that and look at my mouth?

Answer 1

I was going to say no, because they are usually pretty busy. But if its an emergency, then just call and they should be able to take you in right away. They usually keep a few open appointments in case this happens. It happened to me one time, my jaw locked and I couldn't open my mouth, and I just called them and they had me in in the afternoon.

Answer 2

Hi jennie,  It depends on how busy they are.  My ortho. won't let you walk in, but there very busy.  If It's a emergency then they probably will.  If your in a lot of pain they should let you in, if they didn't they would look bad!  I hope I helped you, Good luck!
