See your dentist: The adhesive from orthodontic brackets can only be removed by your dentist. The adhesive can be removed with a diamond polisher

See orthodontist: It is not uncommon that some residue of the brackets adhesive may be left when removing braces. Your orthodontist will use bracket adhesive removal instrument followed by a referral to general dentist for cleaning and polishing.
