First, congratulations!
My teeth and gums were extremely sore the first few days. Brushing was really not possible the day of de-bonding. But honestly, the first day was the worst. Within a day or two the soreness will dissipate on its own. Just give your mouth some time to recover and adjust. For me it didn't last more than 3 days.
