Dentist: Make sure you see your dentist or orthodontist asap. They can give you the best results for removing the cement and maybe give you options for straightening your teeth or keeping them stable.

Need a professional: There is no safe way for you to remove orthodontic adhesive by yourself. Only a dentist or orthodontist is qualified and has the correct instruments to safely remove adhesive without damage to the tooth or surrounding soft tissues. Be safe, protect your teeth, seek professional assistance.
