I don't know. How's your brother?

You should go to the dentist immediately, for all sorts of reasons...

ThreadBare said:

Are you taking them off on your own?

2ndRevolution said:

I'm sorry but

ThreadBare said:

Agreed. Never try to take your braces off by yourself. You could damage your teeth.

I wish you luck.

I wish you heaven

They have to come OFF. Unless I can find a dentist to do them for free then...

1. You should never try to remove braces on your own.
2. Braces have to be maintained professionally.
3. You should get dental check-ups (and professional cleanings) twice a year. Checkups help you remain on top of any sorts of tooth or gum problems (obviously), but dental problems that are allowed to run unchecked can lead to very serious health issues in other parts of your body, like your heart.

wise words.

2ndRevolution said:

Why? Have you talked to your orthodontist or whoever put them on? I know when I wore braces, I had them on for a specific length of time and for a good reason. I would hate to see you damage your teeth, because braces are not cheap.

ThreadBare said:

Agreed!!

2ndRevolution said:

There are free dental clinics.

Please visit the one nearest you, ASAP.

Riiiight. My bad. You asked for prayer because you said you were about to attempt something not-so-wise. But, I hope this thread is all just a big joke. Seriously.

your dentist should be able to clean around them

my dentist did for the 5 years i had mine on
tips, eat an apple! best feeling in the world after getting all that hardware off!

and brush like the dickens, get an electric toothbrush (CREST SPINBRUSH OWNS)
and floss and just have fun with your new grill

I knew a guy that took his braces off with a wire snips and a butter knife....

it really wasn't that big of a deal...of course, he has gaps in his teeth that you could drive a Mack truck thru, but he's a super great guy...
