Does it hurt to get your braces off?

Answer 1

There is a little discomfort mostly. Pressure and a little discomfort. The worst part is getting the bands removed and all you feel is pressure and maybe taste a little blood if you have food/plaque in-between your band and your tooth or gum. Warning: Your teeth will feel pretty slimy and fragile. What I did was eat ice cream and applesauce and stuff like that for a day or so til I got used to not having braces.

Answer 2

"I had braces and now my teeth are beautiful. I got mine taken off and they did hurt a bit. Not as much as i thought it to be. Normally sometimes you get the bit of pain but hope fully your orthadontist is gentle - like all of them - and it wont hurt. But its worth it and soon it will be over and done with! If it does hurt dont worry nothing will go wrong with our teeth or your apperance and it will top hurting soon after! Hope i helped! x :)" I just got my braces taken off aswell unfortunatly it hurt me but only because my gums went over one of the brackets so the had to freeze my mouth and cut it out. BRUSH YOUR TEETH WHILE THEY ARE ON, go for all appointments and this won't happen to you.

Answer 3

When I got my braces off it didn't hurt at all. I felt some slight pressure on my teeth, but that was all. I suppose that if your teeth are already sensitive to pain at the time or a bit sore it could increase the pain slightly, but that's it.

Answer 4

Sometimes it depends but when i got my braces taking off it barely hurt! At some points it might hurt but not bad. If you are getting your braces off soon just relax and if the ord. does something that hurts tell them. Say "ow" or "that hurts" (if you can). Hope this helped!

Answer 5

It may a bit seeing as though the gums around them are being moved here and there. But the pain will go away, plus your pain tolerance is different then everyone else's. But for me, it wasn't all that bad.

It would not because my mom said and she is a dentist!

It depends on the person, I have had braces before, and you may feel slight pressure or tugging, but for the most part it actually feels good!

Answer 6

When I got my braces taken off, it wasn't very painful. There was some slight pain, but nothing serious. I personally didn't think that it hurt too bad. I only had braces on my top teeth, so I don't know about bottom braces.

Answer 7

I have had messed up teeth all of my life, i have had braces for 3 years and got them removed 2 days ago. It does not hurt taking them off, it hurts much more getting them put on. Your teeth will feel every smooth and look very big, but big teeth are better and you will soon get used to them.

Answer 8

I don't have braces, but I have heard that you almost feel a relief. The back rings on the molars might hurt a little because it is around your tooth but otherwise not so much.

Answer 9

No
