*it will not hurt.
He will use the pliers that is used for removing braces and simply pop the bracket off of the tooth.
Then he will remove the glue from the tooth with a drill (Doesn't hurt and takes about 10 seconds.)
Then they will prepare the tooth exactly like they did when you first got the braces on (Put the blue gel on the tooth and rinse it off, then get the tooth really dry);
Then the Orthodontist will just glue the bracket back on (but it will be in a different spot or different angle on the tooth than where it was originally) It just moves the tooth differently when the bracket is in a different location,so that's very common for an orthodontist to do.
