Taking Braces Off (Deband)

Taking braces off your teeth is quite simple and does not hurt. Normally our Dental Hygenist removes the braces and polishes the teeth however sometimes the doctor will do this instead.

1. All the braces are squeezed and this enables them to come loose from your teeth. A small amount of dental glue normally remains on the teeth.
2. This small amount of dental glue is then cleaned and polished off the teeth. We often use a dental drill to do this. Only the dental glue is polished off the teeth so while feeling a bit strange it does not hurt.
3. The teeth are then completely cleaned including around the gums.
4. Impressions of the teeth are taken so that retainers can be made.
5. Photographs (when applicable) are normally taken so that we have a record of your finished result and we can compare these to the photographs taken prior to treatment.

Thats it! All your hard work has paid off!
