Hypothetically, if the tooth were very loose you could remove it with pliers after dosing yourself with ibuprofen. It will hurt still, and you could only accomplish it if the tooth were a very simple and easy extraction. Dentists and oral surgeons use specially designed and sterilized pliers to do simple extractions. However, if the tooth is very loose there are other problems going on that the dentist would need to look at. Anything more complicated than that would need specialized tools. As far as braces, you could pop the brackets off with pliers if they are the metal ones. Ceramic ones would crumble. But you would not be able to remove any bands and you would not be able to remove the cement without damaging your teeth so it will definitely not look professional. If you were very skilled with a dremel that would be your best bet, but like I said you will definitely damage your teeth - and it doesn't solve the band problem. Good luck with your book project, don't try either of those things for real - you are only asking for trouble. :)
REMEMBER THE MOVIE WITH TOM HANKS CALLED "CAST AWAY"?
HERE THIS VERY DESPERATE MAS USED AN ICE SKATE TO REMOVE HIS OWN TOOTH, BUT THIS IS FANTASY.
IN REALITY, IT'S CORRECT KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL TO DO A PROPER JOB. THIS ALSO REQUIRES PROFESSIONAL TOOLS TO DO THE JOB RIGHT. LOL
