Is debanding painful?

#1 Post by MES1279 »

I am 4 months in, so I still have a ways to go... at my adjustment yesterday, I had 2 brackets removed to be repositioned. YEEEEEWOUCH. It felt like my teeth were being pulled. Does it hurt as much when you get your braces off?

I had a bracket removed a few months back and it freak'n hurt. My ortho actually said "Wow, they usually come off a lot easier than that." So i'm hoping it was just a fluke, and maybe my teeth already being sore was a factor. Hopefully when it comes time for debanding the teeth aren't sore at all, and all the brackets pop right off.
