Has anyone had a FIBEROTOMY? Where they cut the fibers in your teeth/under gums?

Question

I have to get one soon b/c I got the braces off. I'm totally nervous...does it hurt? Does it hurt afterwards? Did you get a shot and laughing gas? I am trying to have an OBJECTIVE VIEW...do I REALLY need to get one. I have a permanent retainer on the bottom, and plastic retainers and my teeth weren't too bad to start with, but somewhat crooked. Any info in the net about it objectively. All dentists/orthos will say to get it done.
