Question

Answer 1

It depends on the condition of your teeth before the braces are put on. If your teeth are wildly crooked it will take more time to straighten than it would if your teeth are just mildly so.

Answer 2

Depends on how much your teeth need to move. A year is around average.  

Answer 3

until...when...they get punched out of your mouth for having such a long toung...you shouldn talk about something you dont like if its not inyour bussines...anyway...even like that..Sorry...for been rude...you got your opinion too...if you get braces don't worry they look cool...girls mostly look cute with braces...(my  cousin has and I thing she only had themlike for two months..)depends on your theet problem..

Answer 4

well...i have braces and it is usually on for 2 years. sometimes it might depend on your re-action with the teeth. i have three visits and i'll be done forever! so i guess 2 years...

goodluck,

don't worry many people have them

just 2 years...

hope this helps

Answer 5

well, for me my teeth were REALLY bad

so i got em for 2 years and 6 months

i jus need 4 months to go now :]

;D

but i guess it depends on how badly ur teeth were b4

Answer 6

I had mine on for about a year and a half, but my friend needs to have them on for two years at least. It really depends on how bad your teeth are and how much time it would take to make them perfect. If you have fangs it might take a little longer because they have to move them down heaps.

Hope this helps

Answer 7

Your orthodontist is supposed to give you an ESTIMATE when you get your consultation/x-rays/molds done.  Ask him as he is the only one who would REALLY have an idea.

Answer 8

It depends my cousin had them for 5 months some people have them for 2 years it depends how bad your teeth are.

Answer 9

Depends on how much work needs to be done to your teeth and also how fast your body naturally allows your gums to move those teeth around.  I am getting braces soon too and that's what I was told.  My one friend had her's on for about 6 mos before her teeth were perfect and another of my friends took about 4 years before her's where okay to be removed.  

Answer 10

Normally anywhere from 12 months-3 years. Most people have them for 2. I depends on how crooked or messed up your teeth are.

Answer 11

it depends on how much work needs done

the orthodontist should tell you

i need mine for a year but my sister needs hers for two

try to make every appointment and the closer they are to each other the better

hope i helped good luck on your new smile

Answer 12

It depends on the severity of the issue. I had pretty misalligned teeth, and I only had to have braces for about a year and a half. Normally, it's no more than that, and sometimes maybe even a little bit less. So anywhere from 1-2 years, unless you have a really severe case.

Answer 13

It depends how crooked your teeth are. A friend of mine had them for five years when I was in high school.

Answer 14

the minimum is usually a year or a year and a half.  

Answer 15

Between 6 months and 3 years. Dont worry, they dont hurt and you will have nice straight teeth.

Good luck !!

Answer 16
