Answer 7

3 1/2 years - I slacked on wearing the accessories they told me to wear in addition to the braces. Do what your Orthodontist says and you will get them off in less than 2 years most definitely.

Answer 8

I had mine for a year and a half. You usually have them for 1-4 years, though some people have had them longer, because they lost their insurance and couldn't get them off. Hopefully that wont happen to you :]

Answer 9

2 years. it varies based on how bad your teeth are messed up. the norm time is two years.

Ive allways worn my trouser braces, since i was 12, still have them on today and im 102, so I guess its all down to you.

Answer 12

Answer 13

Answer 14

Answer 15

I had mine for 2 and a half years my teeth were really bad i had five teeth removed also my friend had hers in for four years and my sister had them in for 1 year then a few years later a year again and her teeth have gone back even though shes worn the retainer but shes had children and that does affect and soften the gums.

They should stay the same if you keep on wearing the retainer :)

Answer 16

Answer 17

I can tell you that I wore fixed braces for one year. Afterwards I was fitted in for retainers.

I'm currently on the retainers and I have been wearing them for four years.

I hope everything works out for you. Take care always.
