Braces question?


Question:
I got 4 teeth pulled out to get my braces...I'm just wondering about how long does it take for my teeth to move so those gaps are filled.is it months or a year?

Answers:
It doesn't take more than a couple months for your teeth to start looking good, but most people have their braces on for 1-3 years, followed by retainers.
i've had my braces for 2 years. i get them taken off sometime this year. my teeth moved pretty fast. the gaps really don't take that long to fill usually.
It depends but I know my sons teeth started shifting fairly soon after they were pulled. He already had braces on and they took the brackets or wires off where the tooth on each side of his mouth were to be pulled and then put them back on after they pulled them. That was in January and in a month or so I could already tell his gaps were being filled in.
Depends on how old you are. And how much they need to move. My son had 2 teeth that did not grow in properly & he had to get braces. He had no other probs with his teeth at all, just those 2 & he had to wear his for a year. So you may be looking at a while dear. Sorry & good luck!
If these teeth are baby teeth then they wil grow right back in and the doctor won't even move your other teeth over the gap otherwise I don't know
Well i just got my braces off in July and i had mine for a little under 2 years.
I had to get 4 teeth pullen also.
It depends on what else is wrong with your teeth.
Some people even need a pallet expander so you have braces longer.
I would say 2 years at the most 3 if your unluncky
It will depend on the tension your orthodontists put on the brace wire. Good luck with your braces!
depends on your teeth. some people wear braces for 8 years and others wear them for 1 year.

expect at least 1-2 years before having perfect teeth.
