Q: I'm having my braces removed in a couple of days. I'm concerned though, 'cause the dentist said that it's a 2-day process.

I got them on October 31st, 2005 (no candy for me that year, i know!). So it's been like 2 point something years so far. What should I expect during and after the removal? Blood? Weird nasty tastes?...Tooth decoloration? Pain?

Also, the dentist will file my teeth 'cause they're not all similar in length. Will that hurt or bleed or anything?

And is the switch from braces to a retainer a big jump? Did anyone get braces then retainers?

I'd like to know what it was like for you guys. If you haven't had them, it's ok, i'd still like to know what you think awaits me!

I'm 18/f.

Thank you. =D
ok- well i just got my braces on in february- remember the process? that icky glue taste and all that? nothing like that is gonna happen probably. first- they take off your rubber bands- then your metal band. now all your left with is the metal squares that hold your teeth in place. they have to take that off. i don't no how though. sorry. it wont be too bad.GOOD LUCK

Thanks =).
