Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I had my splint taken off my upper teeth and moved to my lower a week ago. Getting them taken off was a snap - literally. He snapped a few wires, undid a little with his pliers, and pulled it off. Completely painless. The only bad part - and I thought it was fairly bad - was the taste of sewage it released as it came off my teeth. Ugh! I brushed and rinsed in mouth wash, but the taste didn't go away for the rest of the day. Getting it put back on, I got poked a couple times with the wire, not enough to draw blood. He said I could poke him back.
