How do I remove the metal things on my teeth?
Question
I have braces. I think they are called brackets… but anyway… I’m talking about the things that are cemented on your teeth that hold the wire in place. How do I remove those without a professional? I can’t go to a dentist. I want to do it on my own. Please help.

There is no way to do this! It will totally destroying your enamel (which is not replaceable, by the way).
You will regret this so much if you try to do it at home, I promise you.
I don’t even know how you could possibly get them off … they are specifically made so you CANNOT remove them without the appropriate dental tools.
Please do not do this to your teeth!
