well taking off the actual metal takes like... a few minutes haha. cause they take off the metal in mere seconds, but then they have to take off the dust off your braces which takes a few minutes. but don't worry about it, because it won't hurt. after that they have to take a mold of your teeth againnn [ i don't know why ], and then you'll have your retainnnnners. you'll have alot of saliva coming out when you first put on and off your retainers, haha, it's kinda gross, but it'll soon go away. the retainers kind of make your teeth sore for a couple of days [only when you put then on] and then it doesn't hurt anymore. congrats on getting them off!! :)

it'll probably take under an hour to take them off and theres no pain at all afterwards.. your teeth just feel a bit naked i suppose haha

Not really they just feel unconfortanble and weird... but you will get used to them!!!

It doesn't take too long at all. Afterwards you'll have some discomfort, I wouldn't say pain as such, just your teeth settling without the strain of the braces pulling. Ibuprofen is great for that. Good Luck!

there is pain during, no pain afterward... you will also feel awkwardness, coz are not used to it.... it takes about 1-2 hours...

It takes about half an hour to melt the glue and get the wires off. Sometimes, depending on your orthodontist, they will clean your teeth for you like the dentist to get rid of any remaining plaque. There is some mild discomfort afterwards but its nothing I'm sure you couldn't handle. It also feels weird because your teeth feel so big! Hope this helps! Congrats on the braces!
