Is their anyone that has had it on for like 6 months?..or less..

Answer 1

Answer 2

I think 6 months is the minimum time.

I get mine off next August.

The orthodontist will tell you how long you have to have braces.

Answer 3

Each and every case of orthodontists is different and no two are exactly alike. Nobody over the internet is going to be able to five you an exact answer. Even your orthodontist can only give you a rough estimate. Your orthodontist does their part but their is also alot that is on your part. To have your treatment take minimal amount of time remember to wear your rubber bands. Plus do everything your orthodontists acts. Good luck!  

Answer 4

well i have them for a year to less.. ill find out soon lmao

Answer 5

It depends. I would ask your orthodontist.

My teeth are really bad, and I need them for 2 years. So you shouldn't need them too long.

Answer 6

Even "minor" problems can require 12-24 months.  Don't be surprised if the orthodontist says 18 months or longer.  Moving teeth cannot be done too quickly or you risk damaging the teeth and causing you unnecessary pain.

Good luck!

Answer 7

it take 6 months

Answer 8

I had minor problems and I had them for about a year and a few months.

it stinks, but when you get them taken off, you feel AMAZING!
