When your braces are removed, does it take a while for your mouth to "feel right again?" Does it feel weird?

Question:

Answers:
yes, it feels very weird. when my braces were removed my teeth felt lighter and of course smoother. it took quite some time to get used to not having braces. i couldn't stop smiling either.

Other Answers:
It feel as if somethings missing.oh wait my braces are gone! Don't worry they felt like that to me too.

Your teeth will feel kinda slippery for a couple of days but that is it. It actually feels great! it doesn't feel weird, just slippery!

Well, I just got mine removed recently, like, last week, and I got a retainer instead. So, no it doesn't feel weird, cus the retainer still makes your mouth hurt (just like the braces did! until you get used to the retainer, and then, since you're used to it, it doesn't feel weird. :)

As for how it feels once you take off the retainer for the last time, I dunno, but I don't think it will feel weird since your teeth are all used to staying in the right place, and you used to the braces not being there.

Yes, but it's a fantastic feeling! It's not a bad "weird." You will run your tongue over your bare teeth while you read, watch TV, etc. for a few weeks, though, simply because it's such a novelty.
