Is getting braces removed painful?

Depends: If traditional brackets were used, they are removed with forceps that snap under the bracket breaking the bond...It can feel very odd and may even feel uncomfortable...It shouldn't hurt.

Brace removal: Not usually. The pliers that remove braces pinch the brace and it pops off.
