JAKE,

THE ORTODONTIST USES A SPECIAL FORCEPTS TO EASILY APPLY A TWISTING FORCE TO EACH BRACKET.
THEY COME OFF EASILY WITH THE APPROPRIATE INSTUMENTS. READ ALL ABOUT THESE BELOW.

THEY ARE REMOVED WITH A SPECIAL INSTUMENT SO AS TO CAUSE AS LITTLE PAIN AND TO BE SAFE SO THAT NO ENAMEL IS REMOVED. THE BANDS ARE ALSO REMOVED WITH A SPECIAL INSTRUMENT. CARE HAS TO BE TAKEN NOT TO SWALLOW THE BRACKETS.

THIS CANNOT BE DONE BY ANY OTHER PERSON OTHER THAN AN ORTHODONTIST OR A DENSTIST.
