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:

How do you get the wire and brackets from braces off your teeth?

The orthodontist takes takes a special pair of pliers and puts one end of the pliers over the end of a tooth and the other tine of the pliers against the brace glued onto the tooth and squeezes: Voila! the brace snaps off the tooth. Some orthodontists use a different method that just requires squeezing each brace with a pair of pliers. There are many videos on YouTube that show orthodontists removing the braces. The pliers are available on eBay, but be careful! Teeth can break.

If replacing an alternator in 1997 Lincoln Continental how do you get it out?

You have to unbolt the cross brace from the radiator support,the windshield washer tank and the over flow tank,then you can work it down and out. I just changed mine and all you have to do is take your overflow tank off and move your power stering res out of the way. take the bracket off the top of the alternator then take the belt off remove the 4 bolts on top and the 2 on bottom then slide it out. you do not have to take the cross brace off or the winshild tank off.
