The Braces Removal Consent Form is a critical document used in Philippine dental practices when a patient's orthodontic treatment reaches completion. This form is required under Philippine dental regulations, particularly the Philippine Dental Act of 2007, to document informed consent before proceeding with braces removal. It serves multiple purposes: protecting both the dental practitioner and patient by clearly outlining the procedure and its risks, ensuring patient understanding of post-removal care requirements, and maintaining proper medical-legal documentation. The form should be completed and signed before the removal procedure begins, with copies retained in the patient's dental records in compliance with Philippine healthcare documentation requirements.
