It doesn't hurt. It feels slimy at first, but your lips feel better immediately

Nope. Its hurts a little bit but not as much as putting them on.

Yes, but you will be so happy to get them off that you will barley notice ;).

nahh. It's like getting the 'rubber bands' (colored) changed. You can't feel it! I had braces on for 2 1/2 years and I had them off for another 2. The pain in the first two weeks of getting them on is unforgettable. Drinking water turns to living heck.

I guess it depends on your orthodontist. It didn't hurt when I had mine removed. You should do fine. :) Good Luck! :)

It hurts more originally getting them on then off, your teeth will be sore for a day or two and it will be over

At first it hurts because they sort of break or bend the things around your teeth in the back but after it feels a lot better and relaxing
