Abstract :
Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic has faced orthodontists with challenges. The number of unnecessary orthodontics visits should be decreased to stop the spread of this virus. However, if the patients undergoing orthodontic treatments are not followed for more than two months emergencies can occur. Hopefully these emergencies can mostly be handled at home if the orthodontist guides the patient correctly. This study attempted to gather the available solutions for the management of these emergencies, so that orthodontists can help their patients and to decrease the unnecessary appointments during the COVID-19 pandemic.
