How long do you have to wear braces for?


Question:
How long do you have to wear braces for? Does age matter. I am 21 btw. And do the white braces cost more than regular metal ones? I want them to be almost invisible.

Answers:
Usually 2 years but it depends on your situation. If you''re situation is not as severe, then usually 1 year, almost 2. If its more serious, then 2 years, if not more. Age doesn't really seem to matter as much, it just depends on how your teeth moves and how severe your teeth are. Also, if you don't cooperate with your orthodontist, you may have to wear braces longer.

White braces cost more than regular metal ones cuz they're more invisible and you pay for invisibility cuz it doesn't look like you're wearing braces as much. So if you want the white ones, expect to pay more
I'm not trying to mean but you shouldn't ask that question on YouQA.com . Instead you should ask your dr.
the invisiable ones cost more. and the wearing of braces depends on how bad your teeth are the least amount is 1 year, ive known a person who has been wearing them for 5 years

so gl :)
umm i have to have mine for almost 2 yrs and im already done wit my frist yr. it depends on wat ur teeth look like and how bad they are. and ya invisable ones cost more...
Invisaline is the stuff you are talking about the is clear/invisible
and that will not one cost more it will also take longer to straiten your teeth..and it's hard to say how long they will be on for because i can not see your teeth..but usually it's 20-28months
The longer the better cause they will be the same as first if it took just 2 or 3 years. If it takes longer its better cause they wouldn't change again. I saw some ppl doing it in 2 years but now they regret and their teeth are changing into the same as it was and they are not strong in the place, I mean the teeth are moving. But you try that in long years even 6 or 7.
Yes the age is matter cause i saw children doing it in even 6 months. But its different for u I think it will take 6 years.
Also the white ones are much expensive.
Why don't u want them to be seen? they will make u look cute!!
the amount of time with braces depends on what needs to be done in your mouth. mine were supposed to be on for two years, but now it has been two years and four months. so it varies, i know someone who had them for six years. i dont think age matters. i think that the white ones cost more. to be honest, i dont like the white ones. they make you teeth look funny because you can see the wire and if someone looks at you from the side they can see the bracket anyway. but it is your choice, sometimes the white bands stain so be careful what you eat.

good luck
