Then they took the rings off my molars and that was fine and then they took this thingy and scraped the glue off..then it was all done! :-D [ xLyLBaBiiLaUrA808's advice column | Ask xLyLBaBiiLaUrA808 A Question ]

Be warned, though: you'll be in for some major pain. Call your orthodontist ahead of time and ask if he/she will be taking many brackets off at once - because you'll definately want to take some pain relievers before you go.
