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 (link)

Your teeth will feel a little funny once your braces have been removed, you shall then have a mould of your teeth taken so that the retainers can be made, I expect you will just have to wear them whilst you sleep everynight,they might feel tight but thats good, as you know they will stop your teeth from moving back. About the filing of your teeth, i dont know if that will hurt as i have not had it done, although i dont expect it will hurt. Whilst having your braces removed there shouldnt be any blood, although whilst they file off the glue, then if they catch your gums it might bleed a little, but it doesnt hurt. Depending on how well you cleaned your teeth whilst having braces, there shouldnt be any decoloration. Hope this helps :)
