Skin Between Front Teeth Swollen, Bleeding. Braces Put To Close The Gap. Should They Be Removed ?

My exboyfriend put braces on me to close a space between my front teeth. Now the skin between those teeth is swollen, bleeding and sore. He refuses to take braces off & he refuses to sign a release form for another orthodontist to take them off. I am in pain, what can I do other than try to remove these braces myself? Can you refer me to someone to take these off in the Youngstown Ohio area?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you are experiencing.

It sounds insane that any doctor would allow you stay in pains because someone has refused to sign a release form. Please, they need to be taken off or the complication addressed whichever is judged best. Walk into any hospital and lay down your problem. Even without having complications from this, it is your right at any time to decide whether you want to continue wearing them or not and no one would otherwise say no.

If you should be unable to get this addressed, call your lawyer and get the necessary clearance.

I hope you find this helpful and it addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
