haha dont be worried i had braces twice and its not painful when they took mine off. they basically take the actual braces off which is the part that is the most uncomfortable out of the whole process. they take the glue off next and they take this little like sander tool thing but its worth it cause when thyre done your teeth feel sooooooo smooth so yea dont be worries

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 =]

He'll remove the rubber bands so he can pull out the wire. He will then use his little needle nose pliers to remove the metal bands on your molars, and the metal brackets glued your teeth. It doesn't hurt, just feels like a pulling pressure. It hurts worse to have them tightened, so no worries on that.
He will then take his little scraper and scrape the remaining glue from your teeth. No harm will be done to your enamel, but it is a good idea to set up a cleaning appointment. He may even take his little buffer to the front of your teeth.
Don't worry. It's nothing to freak about at all. But I'll tell you, it's a strange feeling for the rest of the day to not feel the metal against your lips and tongue!
