• Answer:

  First your orthodonist will check to make sure you teeth are straight or ready to take the braces off. Then they take the wire and rubber bands out. They have to take each brace and band off. The teeth the bands are placed on will feel pain because they are cemented in. Braces do not take 2 months or 2 weeks to come off. The orthodonists do this process in about an hour depending on how much stuff they added into your mouth. Usually they whiten your teeth afterwards and your teeth may feel like they're sinked inside your gums but this will only take about 2 weeks max for them to feel normal again.
