Freaked about getting my braces off

 

Check these out, too...

  • I'm only 13--why did my breasts stop growing?
  • Why do I wet my undies after I go to the bathroom?
  • My throat's all phlegm-y!
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • Why is my tummy so rumbly?
I'm getting my braces off this Thursday. I'm really scared. How can I calm down? Does it hurt to get them removed?

 

Deep breaths, babe! Everything’s going to be just fine. Getting your braces removed is a li’l scary ‘cause it’s a long appointment and those suckers are glued to your teeth, after all. But don’t worry; while you might feel some discomfort as your orthodontist removes the wires and brackets, you should never be in full-out pain. He (or she) will have to scrape and chip off the remaining cement, and the pressure put on your mouth can be quite uncomfortable. Focus on breathing through your nose, one breath at a time, and you’ll get through it, I promise.

 

So calm down, sweetie, and get ready to work that grin! Good luck and congrats!

 

Weigh in: Did it hurt to get YOUR braces removed?

I had only top braces, and it took only like 30 secs for the braces to come off, and it didnt hurt!!! and then you rinse your mouth out and then she scrapes your teeth to get the glue off then you rise your mouth again then you're done!!! but your teeth feel slimy for awhile after Tong

It hurt when I got my braces off! And my teeth felt really slimy! The first thing I did was chew gum, but I guess I wasn't used to chewing without my braces, because I bit my lip 13 times! But now everything is chill and I'm glad I don't have my braces. Plus, I have really straight teeth!

It doesnt hurt, except maybe your jaw from holding your mouth open. And hope the orthodontist doesnt scrape out any of your fillings (she scarped out 2 of mine and now i have to get them filled again Tong)
