With : With out full knowledge of your treatment history and a clinical examination, only your orthodontist can provide you with the answer and the consequences if in fact you are removing them too early.

When : When you say getting them off early what do you mean? If you mean that your orthodontist feels your treatment is not complete, then i would have to say it is not the right thing to do. If you mean that your orthodontist feels your treatment has been completed ahead of schedule then i say congratulations!

My : My question to you be, is the dentist treating your orthodontic condition advising you to remove the braces because you have reached the optimum expected results? If so, you shouldn't be doubting his professional expertise.

Probably: If you feel uncomfortable about the removal of your braces, make sure that you call your orthodontic specialist to make time to talk to you about your concerns before you have them removed. You should have those worries addressed so that you feel confident about the unveiling of your great new smile!
