You could potentially harm your teeth severely if you take your braces off yourself. To take them off, your orthodontist uses a special solvent on the glue that holds your braces on. If you don't have that solvent, taking your braces off can be very painful and damaging.

YOU don't take them off. When your orthodontist thinks your teeth have become straight enough, he or she will use an instrument to pry them off, followed by sanding the glue off you teeth, and finally finishing off by polishing your teeth.


How do you get rid off marks left on your teeth caused by braces?

How do orthodontists take brace off?

They take the wire out that connects the brackets (square metal parts that are on each individual tooth). Then they pull the brackets off of each tooth, and scrape the glue off of the tooth that held the bracket on. They also pull the metal bands that wrap around your back teeth, and scrape the glue off of those teeth. When they have removed the braces and the glue, they will take a mold of your teeth, and use it to make a retainer so that your teeth will stay in the same positions your braces put them in. If you are worried about getting your own braces off, don't. It sounds painful, but it really doesn't hurt at all. But they all say that, and I'm scared! D:
