How long should I have braces on for?

Question

i got my braces on a little over 4 years ago and i have been getting the brackets on bit by bit now they are fully on... about how long should i have till they're off... i don't want them on all through school

Answer 1

it depends how crooked your teeth are. I had mine on for a year, my friend had hers on for 5 years.

Answer 2

you now your closer to the end once you get rubberbands.

Ive had mine for 1 1/2 years, and still haven't had rubberbands, so im not there yet.

It could be a year or so, or a few months. Just depends on your teeth, and how fast they move.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Answer 3

i got my brackets on all at once and i have to wear them for about 2 years

but it all depens on how crocked your teeth are

you should ask your orthadontist if you want the extect time

Answer 4

Thank the Good Lord I got my braces on the bottom off today!! It's been 2 1/2 yrs. They really look pretty. She  done a fixed retainer.Usually they let them stay on until they are completely straight. I'm older and I have a space on top that refuses to close. She said now with my bottom braces off it would close. You be patient,I know it's harder for u since you've went all those yrs. You'll have a beautiful smile!!

Answer 5
