Sharp Dental Pain
Some discomfort is expected with braces—but when discomfort feels like a sudden, sharp jolt or ongoing stabbing pain, it’s worth paying closer attention.

✅ Yes, this is considered an emergency
Sharp dental pain is considered an orthodontic emergency, but it may also be related to general dental health. If the pain is sharp, constant, or interferes with eating or speaking, contact your general dentist and orthodontist to promptly ensure the issue is diagnosed and treated.
