Rarely the bracket may be bonded very tightly and when the orthodontist tries to take it off it may cause some discomfort. But they will definitely come off.

Hey! It depends on the type of braces you are wearing. If it’s ceramic then it actually chemically bonds to the tooth structure and sometimes it does become difficult to get it off. There are other ways to debond the ceramic braces in such scenarios. Regards, Dr Shivanand MDS MOrth RCS (UK)
