What is it like when you get your braces off?

Question

What do they do??? Does it feel wierd? I have one more year before I get them off, and I jus got rubber bands:[ I am getting SO impatient! I just want it to be over!

Answer 1

Answer 2

Your teeth feel like huge slimy stones... but only for a day or so.

Answer 3

Ive heard your teeth feel slimey....its totally different..more space in your mouth...and free....

(i need braces but mum disagrees)

Answer 4

they like have these plier things and they just break the brackets off one by one but it doesnt hurt at all, then they just slide the wire out. Dont worry about it, doesnt hurt a bit but u feel a tad strange afterwards like your mouth is to gummy or something, took me a while to get used to it!

gd luck =]

Answer 5

First of all.........be very good at wearing the rubber bands,  as close to 24 hours a day as possible....the more you wear them,  the faster you get your braces off.   Many people don't wear them much,  and it forces them to have their braces a lot longer.

It does feel odd to have naked teeth back,   I thought more odd than when you first got your braces on.     It can be uncomfortable to get the braces taken off it your gums are not healthy,  so be a good brusher.   If you are keeping your gums and teeth healthy,  it doesn't hurt at all,  and is a great feeling,  sort of like taking your shoes off after a long day !
