Question:

Does it hurt to have fixed braces (train tracks) removed?

I have had my braces on for 2 years now. i am having them off in 2 months. Is it gunna hurt?


Answers:

hehehe, enjoy. I had mine removed in january.

well, first they are gonna remove the train track wires. (im sure theyve replaced it a few times so u know it wont hurt).

they take something that looked like a pair of pliers and they take the back teeth off first. it wont hurt like teeth in ice water, but just some pressure pain. not bad.

then they remove the front blocks, by twisting and turning so the glue will chip off. this hurts more. well it's not that bad lol.

then here comes the fun part. now all the metal pieces are gone they take a pen looking grinder that grinds and polishes the glue bits off. this hurt less but it's REALLY long and your teeth will go a little numb after the vibrations. and it sounds like these construction places with the grinders ;-O

afterwards they stick a piece of wire behind your bottom front teeth for some random reasons and it will stay there forever. so brush that place thoroughly before the appointment.

lick your teeth and you'll feel it's nice and smooth!!! now you have to wear retainers which is a mould of your top jaw for 24 hours for 2 months, then at night for another +- 6 months. but eventually u'll get lazy like me, i dont wear that thing often.

just watch out for bleeding gums. u need to floss and rinse and get ur teeth checked regularly :)
