Does it hurt?
I swear, I freak out when they change the wire; what's it like when they're sawing glue off?

They don't saw it off
they just twist it slightly and it comes off surprisingly easily.

All of the glue?
I thought residue would be on there, given that it's stuck on and welded on with UV light!

If I remember rightly, it comes off when they do a quick polish afterwards.

I've had a few little bits out already.
It's amazing it can live in the mouth, one of the most hostile environments about, for so long, and also come off that easily.

I was scraping it off the back of one of my teeth, actually
but any whirring noise makes me cry. I'm getting chips repaired under plenty of NOS!
