it didnt hurted at all, only it felt like a butcher who was playing with me during the removal, he applied so much force with the pliers that my chin was pushed strongly against my neck, wasnt pretty... but.. no pain whatsoeever.. but after the stitching i bleeded alot from one tooth, i was spitting and gushing blood from my mouth for about an hour.. i bet i could make it to a scene from saw or something... but after all it wasnt as horrible as i tought it would be... it only hurted the next day a lot and i could open my mouth for more as an inch...
