Broken Jaw Removal of Braces?

Tomorrow I get my braces removed, finally after 4 weeks, and I am REALLY scared. The surgeon already told me it hurts to remove them so I will not be awake for that, but I am wondering how I will feel after I wake up and they are off and will the recovery be quicker once they are off?

Update:

These are not normal braces like you get to correct your bite. I have a broken jaw and broken teeth.

    wow i'm surprised your dentist is putting you to sleep... it didn't hurt a bit for me. all they do is slide off the brackets with a plyer type tool.

    heres a video of a girl getting her removed.

    no need to worry!

    EDIT: oh wait... are they braces for a broken jaw?

    if they are sorry lol. thought you were talking about braces for your teeth.

    oh i'm sorry! you should ask the surgeon that question then.

    sorry i couldn't help!
