Dumb question? Maybe. I had braces put on the bottom front row of teeth when I was visiting some relatives in another country--much cheaper than in the US. I had planned to go back for another visit, but now I can't. I've called around my area asking dentists what they would charge. They want about $600 just to take them off!

The better question to ask is what do you want the final result to look like? If it doesn't matter then just leave them on until you infact CAN go back. If it matters, seek professional help for their removal.

If left on too long, they can cause staining, if that's not a problem for you and they're done doing their job, meaning that no more adjustments are necessary, then leaving them on until.... isn't really a problem. The most important thing to remember is that they will also nee a very professional cleaning done at every six months to be sure that their lingering attachments don't cause any cavities and decay.

Okay, so you say you just had them on your bottom front row? Well how long have you been wearing the braces, because it depends, there is no way of you taking out your own braces off by yourself, unless of course you would rather be left with no teeth whatsoever. Also if you take them off yourself and then have no retainers. than having braces was a waste at all, b/c without retainers your teeth will become crooked again. YOU HAVE TO GET A PROFESSIONAL TO DO THIS!

i prefer you go to a licensed professional that one of your family memebers or friends know. this may give you a discount. about your $600 amount, i doubt that to be true. it is overpriced since it is for the removal alone. do not plan to take weird things and ways that the former users have advised you to do. i never had braces on and i can only emphatize with you. but i have known a few who does. they do not pay that much amount of money to get their braces removed because it is removed for free... once you've completed the number of months required to have yout teeth all lined up. i think you should just wait and then get them removed --- for free.

Looks like you're out $600 to get them removed.
Or maybe if they were put on with sub-standard "glue" just wear them a while and they'll work their way off eventually.

Or Get a friend with a steady hand and a chisel.

It is no harm to leave the brace in your mouth. You can remove it by an ordthdotist when you earn enough money.
