Answer 5

I have braces and you usually have to keep them on for a year or more. You can't get it on and off before school starts. The point of having braces is so that your teeth shift in order to get them straight. So you technically CAN'T get it done and over with before school.

Answer 6

The second answerer is not correct. I'm sorry. Braces can stay on from 6 months-3+years it really depends.

Anyways, call the orthodontist and ask for a consultation. This is just a day that you talk about getting braces and different treatment plans. You may get impressions done. These are molds of your teeth they don't hurt. You may also get spacers. These just get your teeth ready for braces. Or you may just talk. Then a couple weeks later you get braces!
