I'm getting my braces off tomorrow and my family and I are going out for a big dinner afterwards...Should I expect sore teeth by that evening or what???

I just got mine off 5 hours ago so I definitely know how it feels. It is nothing like I thought it would be. Its so easy... the actual removing of the braces takes 5-10 minutes then they just take the glue off, polish your teeth, get your retainer and your done! No it isn't sore... I had to go to a fundraiser and speak after I got mine off and I spoke and ate and I was perfectly fine. It just feels a lot different because you are so used to having them on etc. Mine don't hurt at all... and they feel a lot better now than they did with the braces on. You will be fine! Congrats and enjoy your dinner!!!!

Yes, they will be sore. You've had the braces supporting your teeth for a while so they'll be very loose and sore. That's why you have to wear a retainer because your teeth will shift once the braces are removed and the retainer keeps them in place while they set.

Yes, but less than the day that you put your braces on. Your teeth might be sore lightly.
It will also take a few days to get used to not having them.

My daughter said her teeth didn't really bother her after she got her braces off. She said what really bothered her was how they looked. There were discolored areas that had been covered up by the pads. She was prescribed a special toothpaste to try to fix that and went to the dentist to get a good cleaning.

yes your teeth will be alittle sore but nothing more than what you have already been through. by the time you get out of the docters office you are going to be so happy you will be able to eat whatever you want and not care
