How long does it take to close a few gaps with braces, or braces with power chains?

Question:

I don't have a major gap, just tiny spaces in between some of my front teeth. My teeth are straight already, my dentist said if I were to get braces, it would just be to get my spaces closed. I have a consultation this Thursday, and I want to know what to expect.

Answers:
haha. just expect only a few months of braces. well. less than the amount of time it takes to fix crooked teeth.
but i heard that the thing they use to pull teeth together hurts more than the normal o-rings.

Other Answers:
took from february- ca. july for me...but you have to wear them longer in order to keep your teeth in that position, otherwise they'll move back

could take over a year

Unfortunately, this question doesn't really have an answer. It depends on your teeth. Everyone is different and teeth don't all move at the same speed. Just keep an eye on them and see if you notice a difference each day.
