I’m worried about having my train track brace taken off, can I have some reassurance?

June 29th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I can’t quite believe it’s been two years since I had my brace on but in 3 weeks time I’m getting them off. However I’m a bit worried about the process, a few of my friends have said that it really hurt when they have to grind the cement of my teeth. I’m probably been silly but I was just trying to read up about it, could you tell me a bit more about how they take the brace off? It’s a normal train track one. I’ve not been very brave throughout my treatment to be honest, always worrying and crying 🙁 I didn’t have to have any teeth out before I had it on, if I would of had to I don’t think I would of got a brace. Hopefully it will be okay, but I’d love some reassurance 🙂

Can I have my teeth whitened after having my braces off?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

hello I am due to have my braces off in a few weeks (mid November) but despite the fact I have done everything I can do whilst wearing braces to stop them discolouring I’m pretty sure they have done just that. there’s still around three weeks of treatment to follow this point and therefore they wont get any cleaner. Can I have tooth whitening treatment after braces as part of the procedure or will I have to pay for that separately? If I have to pay for it what is the best methods and how much does it cost approximately? Im not a big fan of buying them from the supermarket you see as not only do I think they wont be good enough but that I wont be good enough to apply them well enough im very sceptical about products like them. I also don’t want to have it done at a tanning/beauty salon for the same reason.

I am getting impatient with my braces treatment. Will it hurt to have them taken off?

November 1st, 2011
Q.

Hi im about half way through my brace treatment. I have full, upper and lower fixed braces, this has got me thinking about having them removed as im pretty much counting down the days now. I cannot wait for this we have an approximate date set of 10th-20th of July for the removal. this was updated the other week when my orthodontist said I was responding really well to treatment and that my teeth were moving quicker than he has planned initially which is great stuff. I asked my friend what it was like when she has hers off and she said she could not stop licking her teeth the weirdo! but I wanted to know if they hurt when you take them off, im worried because they’ve been glued on there (or would have been) for 18 or so months, please could you tell me your thoughts from your experience please im getting quite nervous about something I should be happy about.

What effects does a brace have on your facial features?

October 27th, 2011
Q.

hi, Dr Hutchinson can you please tell me the effects that a brace has on the patients face please? this may sound weird indeed I know but still. I have had my braces of for about a week now and people have mentioned that I look a bit gaunt? I have always been really slim- never properly skinny but my face has always been really defined so to speak, now though- and I have noticed it myself but hadn’t paid it too much attention as I was happy to have my brace off but my face does seem slimmer? it might not be anything to do with the braces but I have never changed my diet and after checking it seems I haven’t lost any weight, so it lead me to believe it was down to this,? could you potentially shed some light on the situation please. tah

…by the way I cannot leave my teeth alone!

I moved from US to the UK and have not continued my braces treatment. Can I just get them removed?

September 21st, 2011
Q.

Hello:

I have had my braces on for several years. This is unfortunate and causes me great distress and anxiety. They were initially placed while i was living in the US and have since moved to the UK to live with my partner. It is frustrating to find anyone that can help. I would really like to have them removed at this point, because I have not continued with my treatment. Can you suggest how I can go about doing this with a sensitive understanding orthodontist who will not judge or criticize my situation harshly?

A.
There should be no reason why … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

How do I get my braces off for my 18th?

July 25th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr.Patel,
I have had my train track braces on for nearly 3years now, I got them fitted when i was 15 and it’s coming up to my 18th birthday very soon. I ask my orthodontist every time I go to take them off and he just keeps putting it off. It’s really starting to get me down though because I dont want to spend one of the biggest milestones in my life with braces on, I already had to wear them to my prom. My teeth are perfectly straight and Iam getting that fed up that iam getting ready to pull my hair out. Please could you give me some advice?
