Ceramic braces difficult/painful to remove?

Are ceramic braces difficult to remove? My orthodontist is very old school in his opinion on newer braces. He says that the ceramic ones gives bad experiences when it comes time to remove them. He says they chip the tooth sometimes and he has to sand it down, etc. Things that metal braces would not cause. Kinda had me convinced there, but I also hear so many good experiences with ceramic braces. Are they really that bad when you take them off?

Answer:

If you bought packages of seeds at the store, it should tell you on the back how many seeds to plant and how far apart you should plant them. It will also tell you how tall/wide the plants will get and how much water and sunlight they need to grow. However, none of the flowers you've listed belong in a flower basket. If you are interested in making hanging flower baskets, i suggest you look at Impatiens, Geraniums, Petunias, etc.
I am an orthodontic assistant and I take them off almost every day. The ceramic ones are a bit harder to get off but for us not you! They tend to shatter when coming off and the metal ones do not do that. Also we can take the metal ones off in one unit brackets, bands, and wires all still together. With the ceramics you have to spend extra time taking out all of the wires before you can begin taking off brackets. When they shatter it takes a lot longer because you have to sand the bracket off of the tooth. But keep in mind they don't always shatter, I took off a set today and they came off fine! I have NEVER EVER had a natural tooth break! Filling and crowns are at risk for breakage but your natural tooth should not be. Sounds to me like your ortho just doesn't like to spend the extra time taking them off. I'm kinda surprised he would try to talk you out of them because I'm sure he was going to charge you more and that means more money for him! I think if you want ceramics then you should get them! That is just my opinion though! Good Luck!!
