What are the common complications and how are they managed?

Common issues include:

• Fit problems from missed wear time requiring professional wire adjustments
• Breakage of acrylic base or wire components necessitating repair or replacement
• Initial discomfort or speech changes that typically resolve within 1-2 weeks.

Patients should contact their orthodontist immediately for broken components, persistent pain lasting more than 3 days, or changes in bite alignment.
