Answer 6

hahaha, some of these people have such funny answers.

no, it shouldn't hurt.

if anything, it'll just feel like when they change the bands on each bracket, how it feels like they're gonna pull a tooth out, like not painful, just lotsa pressure.

and also, your teeth will feel so slimy!

hahaha everyone i know who's gotten braces off constantly licks their teeth.

and i'm sure it feels great without the brackets tearing up the insides of your cheeks day after day.

Answer 7

Answer 8

and later in the day my teeth were sore too

Answer 10

i dont know but i am getting my braces off in 6 days!!!! yay! i am so excited, and i also asked that question and from most people's responses, my friends and Yahoo! users, they said no your teeth just feel "slimy"

Answer 11

Its doesnt really hurt when they are pulling them off but later in the day your teeth will hurt. If you want to minimize the pain take an ipeprohen before you go to your othadontist

Answer 12

No, I panicked before I got them off. I thought they were going to hurt just as much as when I got them put on. They are fine though - although they feel a little uncomfortable for  a few hours, but that is mainly the retainer / plate.

Good luck - and congrats on having them off =]

Answer 13

It doesn't hurt. If anything you'll feel pressure, but you shouldn't feel any pain. The most uncomfortable part is when they clean your teeth, just like a normal cleaning. You'll be so excited to get them off, you probably won't notice it anyway! Good luck and Congrats!!
