How do dentists glue braces to teeth and how are they able to remove them so easily?
Dentists and orthodontists use a special cement for braces (brackets). This cement is hardened or cured by shining a special blue light on it. This is known as a curing light.The teeth are first prepared for the brackets by carefully cleaning them and then conditioning them with a weak acid to slightly roughen the surface of the tooth. This allows a better grip for the bracket cement. The adhesive must be carefully designed so as not to be too strong. If the adhesive were to adhere too tightly to the tooth, the enamel of the tooth could be damaged when the brackets were removed.When it is time to remove the brackets they are "popped" off by the use of a special pliers. Any residual cement remaining on the tooth must be removed, either by hand instruments or a special bur in a dental drill. The procedure is usually painless.It usually takes about an hour to put on a full set of brackets, but they can be removed in five minutes.
How do dentist take braces off?
They don't, the assistant does most of it. Once you have paid, the orthodontist spends little time with you. The assistant does everything, and neither one is responsible or accountable for anything.I am sure that there are some responsible orthodontists that attend to the patient themselves, however most orthodontists do not do that at all. In fact, they document as little as possible about the teeth when the braces come off, because they know that the teeth often will not stay in the corrected position. When the teeth relapse, they will try to blame the patient for not wearing the retainer. If that is proven false, ( and it shows by the gum line around the retainer, and the fit of the retainer ), they will deny that the teeth have moved. Since they do not take a permanent impression, do not do intraoral photographs, throw away the retainer impression, and avoid a panoramic xray on day of removal, the patient is left with no recourse after years of time, effort, pain, and thousands of dollars to losing the desirable result that was there at time of removal. It is one of the biggest fraudulent multi-milliondollar scams going on in the United States. They should go to jail in my opinion.Patients, document the final result immediately! Demand a permanent impression be made & die cast when the braces are removed, and make sure you are in possession of it. Go to a separate dentist and pay for it yourself if necessary, along with a panoramic xray, (you must verify that the roots are in the right direction at time of removal), full exam, intraoral photos, and documentation of any and all defects present at time of removal. Document contacts, bite ( ask for occlusal paper test & document ), do bite wing xrays ( xrays done while braces are on will not show caries on molars because the braces hide it, so these are useless ), get a cleaning, and document gum condition. Most importantly, wear the retainer. Wear it as much as possible for the first year, no matter what they say.Remember, they have made their money. You are taking up a chair and their time after the braces come off. They do not care if your teeth move. Have proof that you are not to blame. Have proof of how the teeth were when they removed them.
I have glue still on my teeth after I got my braces off,will it come off by itself?
Usually it takes a very long time. I have had 3 sets of braces and had this problem every time. By the second time I figured out that my general dentist is much better at removing the adhesive than the orthodontist. Get your general dentist to clean your teeth and let your hygienist know if he/she got all of it. You need to feel with your tongue after he/she finishes and make sure. If he/she misses a spot, he/she will gladly take care of it.
What do dentist use to get the cement from braces off of teeth?
There are several different ways to remove the adhesive. You may feel some pressure and/or vibration, but neither way should hurt. This is an adhesive removing plier. One tip has a "bumper pad" that rests against the edge of your tooth. The opposite tip has a little scraper. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/image... The other item that might be used is almost like a miniature electric buffer. Some offices use one or the other, some offices use both. Congratulations on getting your braces off!

Does getting the glue off after braces hurt?
I'm hopefully getting my braces off in about two weeks but im worried about getting the glue off after the braces have come off. I can't stand the the tool they use to polish your teeth touching my teeth or the noise it makes. Can anyone tell me what it's like to have the glue polished off and if it hurts. Thank you.
