I need my braces off pronto, but I'm a college student, and I don't have the money to pay for them to be taken off, i joined the marines, and for me to go to basic training, I need them taken off.

ahh idk if i would try that myself.
maybe you can call someone from the marines and they can find somewhere to get it done for free, or maybe theres a dentist or someone in the marines who could do it. good luck.

Borrow some money from your parents, and go to a Dental training school, they will do this for a fraction of the cost. When you get your bonus from the Marines be sure to pay your parents back (with interest).

I'm sure you could, but that would be very stupid. Have a professional take them off, maybe a retired dentist who wouldn't charge. Doesn't the Marines have medics who might do things like that/pay for it partially if you signed some contract?

No you cannot take your braces off. Who ever put the braces on should take them off. That fee was included in your orignal payments to your orthodontist so go back to the orthodontist that did your braces and he will take them off as per your original agreement with him/her.

I personally would not attempt this myself if I were you. Let the dentist do this & make payment arrangements with your dentist office, after explaining the necessity of having to have the braces removed ASAP.

NO!!! Do not take them off yourself. After all the money you've spent to have nice teeth, don't ruin them with trying to remove the braces yourself!!!!

that's a classic tinkerer's interest, good up my alley... yet on the grounds that i'm *no longer* there to quickly take care of the "puzzle," i will only grant strategies in step with how i could probable bypass approximately figuring it out and attaining it, and what i ought to dig up on the internet. First, attempt the straight forward way. if your previous record'll do it for "loose" (as in, it grew to become into area of the putting-on value), might as nicely enable him/her, if s/he's close sufficient to bypass to. yet whilst no longer: study what's diverse touching directly to the cord that got here off, and the areas nonetheless on your enamel. the objective is going to be to make the areas that are nonetheless on, be like the area that got here off (in different words, reflect the "illness" in the area that got here off by using itself). Then they might desire to return off (in spite of everything, the "off" area got here off after The secret area(s) disconnected from them, good???). as quickly as you detect what The secret area(s) are, do away with them from the the rest braces. this might take some form of extremely professional gadget. i found a internet site that mentioned "particular pliers" are utilized by using the specialists for straightforward removing. So in case you will get a pair of those you're able to be waiting. yet threat is you will might desire to return up with some style of "make-do" pliers quite. i could attempt for small bent-nosed, needlenosed pliers in case you won't have the ability to get the professional sort. determine you sterilize any hardware you utilize till now putting it on your mouth! I additionally found yet another internet site that gave those steps: decrease the bands, and then pull out the cord. Then snap off the brackets with some pliers or a nail clipper. i could attempt that way first, then if it would not artwork, bypass approximately it like a puzzle as I mentioned before everything. i could determine that there is going to be some trick to getting that cord outta there, or you will have executed that already...and that's the place the pliers are going to return in. reducing the bands that have not already broken is clever...whether they do no longer fall off then, it will decrease the stress on the braces and make the the remainder of the artwork greater handy. once you're executed, gargle with some good mouthwash like Listerine (or storebrand equivalent)...only a physically powerful protection precaution. stable success. I additionally understand what "broke" skill so no ask your self on the belief of self-care from right here!

can't the med doc take them off for you - they're desperate for people to go die - hell they even pay off people's debts, they should at least take your braces off. Shows how much they care - if you take your own off you'll end up with the adhesive still stuck on your teeth.

Why don't you check your local telephone book for a public clinic? They may be able to refer you to dentist who will do it for little or nothing.
Or find out if your university has a dental school - you may be able to get free or low cost service there.

Probably could - might hurt like a mother though.
Best thing to do is have the dentist take them off, and work out a payment plan you can afford. I'm sure they'll accomodate you and your situation.
