I am REALLY SCARED to get MY BRACES OFF :(?
okay so i have had my braces on for about three years now.. i got them when i was in 6th grade. they told me its not going to be long before i get my brace taken off... my friend recently got her braces off.. she said that when they did it, it sounds like they are ripping your teeth out.. every time i go to the orthadontist to get them changed or whatever i am scared as hell when they do anything with there metal instruments they use to adjust them... i dont know how i am going to be able to contain myself when i am sitting there listing to it.

It doesn't sound like they are ripping your teeth out..that would be FAR worse!!! All that happens is they remove the little things that hold on the wire. Then they remove the wire. Then they use this tool that grabs onto the brackets on your teeth and remove it with one swift movement. You sometimes hear a little crack, but it's JUST the glue!!! Then they remove any glue residue and fit you for your retainer. It's SOOO much better than having braces on, you'll feel silly for being scared to get them off. I promise :)
