What to expect when you get braces removed?

#1 Post by Brooke »

Well, I thought this would be a good topic because we all talk about things that we fear or things that are uncertain while we are wearing our braces but what I haven't seen is information regarding the process of being debraced. Other then the excitement of having them off, what else can I expect? Does it hurt when they take off the brackets? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

That is a good question. Mine should be coming off in 6-7 months andam anxiously awaiting debracing.

Another question I have...

is there stains? I've noticed some light staining on the edge of a few brackets. I wonder how it will look when they are off. Anyone?

My orthodontist does one whitening treatment in my plastic retainers after my removal of my braces. Don't know about everyone else on that subject.
