There is no fixed amount of time it will take to have your braces removed. One thing you can be sure of though, is that it will be much quicker than when you had them attached. Expect to be in there for around an hour for all the braces to be taken off and all the follow-up work to be done.
Twisting the knee is a common cause of overstretched or torn ligaments of the knee. The knee may give out suddenly when the ACL is torn and there may be a popping sound upon injury. Symptoms of a torn ACL include knee pain, swelling, stiffness, and bruising.
Best Answer: Could be your ACL (anterior cruciate ligament). That's what commonly causes your knee to give out. It could be torn, but you would be in a fair bit of pain. It could be stretched from an injury playing sports. But its best to go to the doctors and let them have a feel as they can tell through moving your leg around or if not an MRI scan.
