When orthodontic treatment is complete, the braces that have been used to align the teeth need to be removed. In most cases, the dentist who placed the braces will also remove them. However, there may be circumstances in which another dentist needs to take off the braces. For example, if the patient moves to a new area or if the original dentist is unavailable, another dentist may need to take over the care of the patient's teeth.
There are a few things to keep in mind when another dentist is taking off braces. First, the dentist will need to assess the patient's teeth to make sure that they are ready to be removed. The dentist will also need to discuss the aftercare instructions with the patient, so that the patient knows how to care for their teeth after the braces are removed.
