Braces are not ripped off. They are clipped off with pliers.

You will feel some pressure but it doesn't hurt that much.

I got my braces off this past Thursday. The brackets coming off doesnt hurt AT ALL. I heard the ceramics were worse but when he took my ceramics off, I didnt feel a thing. Dont worry, it wont hurt. :)
