Braces...
I really had no idea where to put this q, so yeah.I was wondering....
How do braces(for teeth) get taken off and does it hurt at all? I've asked my dentist but he never answers me... If you could help that would be great cause i am kinda scared to get them off.

I just recently got my braces off.
At my Orthodontist, the first 10 minutes I was there they were already off. He took like plyers and just pressed every bracket and it all came out together. I was shocked because I thought it was a long process to take it off, but it isnt. The reason it's such a long appointment is because the glue is still on your teeth. When he took mine off, I licked my teeth and it felt discusting. However, they take that off with like a drill that actually smells really bad because when they do it, it's right next to your nose.. It smells like something is being drilled, but its very powerful and they do that for every single tooth that had a brace. After that, you'll teeth will be slippery and feel very different but in a good way. Then, theyll put the gunk to form your teeth and take picture of your teeth and all that for your retainer that you're probably going to get. You shouldnt be scared at all, it doesnt hurt, once you get them off, youll probably not even stop smiling. Trust me. Enjoy!
I'm answering your feedback:
So it doesn't hurt at all? When he like yanks them off it doesn't hurt? The drill thingy doesn't hurt either???????? that sounds really weird to me..... are you sure....?
For me, it didnt hurt when he was actually taking the braces off. Its not like a drill for a screw kind of thing, It just scrapes the glue off. Honestly, my teeth didnt even feel sore after the were off, no more pain just white clean teeth. Im postive, I got them off 2 weeks ago, I remember everything that happened.
Dont worry!

It doesnt and I was scared too! lol
They use some "pliers" to take the brakets and rings off, scrape the gule off, and might clean your teeth. It will feel weird for a little bit but you will be soooo happy! It doesnt hurt but you might feel some discomfort. Your mouth may or may not be sore afterwards.

Hey Hun,
I got my braces off about 3 years ago and I was a bit nervous about it too. Luckily, the technology we have these days helps to make things quick, easy and painless. It didn't take that long for me to get my braces off and I only felt some SLIGHT discomfort afterwards (only because my teeth were SO USED to having metal brackets and wires on them). Your mouth may be a LITTLE sore afterwards, but it won't be as bad as the feelings you might've had after they tightened your braces. Don't worry about anything, be excited! :)
Congrats on getting them off! Believe me, having braces may have been a pain in the [insert random body part here], but the beautiful smile you're gonna have is going to make it seem like it was all worth it!
LOVE.

Don't be scared! :]
You should be excited. I got my braces off in 7th grade after having them for two years.
What they do is remove the wires, then take those plier things, and take the brackets off. Then they scrape the glue off, then theyll clean your teeth. And then you go brush them again anyway.
It sounds horrific but the worst part about it, is the sound when they take your brackets off.
But it doesn't hurt. And your teeth will feel kinda slimy cause you wont be used to being able to feel your whole tooth X)
You're on your way to a great smile :D
I love mine now that my braces are off. :]
And you won't be able to stop smiling, I garuntee :P
