How can I remove glue from my teeth my orthodontist forgot?!

Well, is there a dental program at your college? or dental hygiene program? They tend to offer low cost services.
I'd suggest to leave it to the professionals, because that bonding can be VERRRRY stuck to the tooth structure, and it would be really bad to damage your tooth, especially since you just went thru the whole orthodontics case.

It's not recommended that you do all of it yourself. Orthodontists usually use a sanding instrument or sharp scraper to get it off and if you should screw up you could damage your enamel, your teeth or gums.

I suspect since you didn't realize there was a problem until after you'd left the orthodontist that it's not a painful situation (probably pretty annoying though). You might carefully try to dull down any sharp spots with a fine emery board (less than a dollar at most drug stores in the nail polish section). Then when it's more comfortable, leave the rest for your ortho to do when you get a chance to go see him or her on break.

Medical Discount Plan
ideal for those who cannot afford or qualify for traditional health insurance. The companies offer discounted health services for a quite low monthly fee. Benefits include a range of discounts for doctors, hospitals, dental, vision, prescriptions, vitamins, as well as other health services.

Individual & Family Health Plans
This is a major health insurance plan for individuals and families. If you are looking for comprehensive long term health insurance coverage for yourself and/or your family members who are 62 years old or younger - this is the plan to choose.

Short Term Medical Plans
This plan is ideal for individuals in transition. Maybe you have just graduated from college and are no longer covered under your student health insurance or you moved out on your own, and you're no longer covered under your parents' medical insurance plan. Or perhaps you're employed part-time, going to school, leaving home for the first time, or even retiring early. Maybe you've found a new job, but your new employer's group health insurance plan won't kick in until you've been with months.

Common situation you met like many other people,be patient,and check the resource here www.HealthInsuranceFree.info/dental.html i found very useful for me to solve my similiar problem.

It's possible that an orthodontist in your college area might do it for you for a small fee (or even for free). If you have no luck with that, call your home orthodontist and see if perhaps he knows someone in your college area who could take care of it for you.

BTW, your orthodontist should have made sure that all the glue was off your teeth before letting you go home. That is very sloppy work!
