When having braces, can you get the top off before the bottom if it's ready first?

Question

My top teeth are corrected totally will I be able to get my top brace off before the bottom ones ?

HelloThanks for your question. In very specific cases it is possible to remove the braces in one of the jaws before the other. However we would like to keep both until the end because we need to coordinate both upper and lower arches for a great fit. Also it is important because we wear elastics to improve the bite and for that we need upper and lower braces. Hope it makes sense.Warm regards
