Question

I'm getting braces and I have a bad overbite, and my teeth are in a "v" shape. How long will I have braces?

Answer 1

most likely two years.(:

Answer 2

it reallllllllly depends, not only on what your problems are, but how well you respond to the treatment (if you wear elastics when you need to, etc)

i had a crossbite, some crowding on the bottom, & a gap between my top 2 front teeth, & ive had my braces for 2 years & 11 months. they come off on wednesday, but its been a long process. so i would guess your braces would be on for maybe.. 2 - 3.5 years ?

good luck !:)

Answer 3

Ask your dentist.  There are so many factors involved that no body can really answer this question but your dentist could give you the best educated guess.
