How exactly do the orthodontists take OFF your braces..?? im getting mine off in july.. and im kinda freaking out... THANKS
Well it doesn't hurt so don't worry abou that. It's just a bunch of pressure. They will take the rubber bands off and the wires out, and use this tool like plyers (spelling) and pop off the brackets and the rings around your molers. Then they will take (the tool the dentist uses to scrap your teeth clean of plack) and scrap off the cement. That part was different, you can hear them scraping and some times the parts of cement fall into your mouth, but you wash your mouth out with water so you don't have to worry about that. They will have you run your tounge over your teeth, and if you feel any cement you tell them & they get the rest off. It feels different for a while, you teeth feel slimy & you can't help but run your tounge over them, because of they way you feel. Retainers take a little while to get use to also, they make you talk a little funny at first, but that goes away after a while too. After I had mine off (not while they were taking them off) my teeth hurt. They didn't have the constant pressure on them like they did before, so it hurt. I took advil & I was fine. Don't worry though, it's a good day when you get your braces off =]
