I will get my braces off very soon and every person i ask says it hurts. can i ask for them to numb me?

Get new friends: While getting braces off is not great fun, it's easier and quicker than getting braces on. You really don't need to be numbed up. Take an advil (ibuprofen) before the appointment, and enjoy the results of all your hard work.
