Depends on how messed up your grill is!
mine took 3 years. and i only had 2 teeth out of place I have braces now. Before I got them I had to get 8 teeth pulled. When I actually got them put on, it took like 45 minutes. Usually they will tell you how long they think you will have braces when the Orthodontist sees you. I have to have them on for 18 months.
I like the other answer of depends on the grill but it also depends on the dentist and how much of a vacation he needs. :) Just be careful when you go out exploring the possibilities but don't jump on the first one, get a few opinions. If finance is all they discuss, then it's the wrong place for you :)
Depends on the severity of the problem that the braces are trying to correct. Some variables include whether you have a severe gap (such as those caused when teeth are pulled out by dentists) whehter you have a overbite/underbite etc. Also if you are wearing devices that the orthodontist gives you like headgear or rubberbands.which also depend on your case. Perhaps if your teeth aren't all that bad to begin with you won't have to wear any of it! Happy Smiling!
I had mine for 2 years. Just like with everything, everyone is different. Your orthodontist will be able to give you an estimate of the time frame. 2 to 3 years is what my dentist told me when I asked. And it costs a bomb.
To complete the treatment so that you are also finished with the retainer; it took 8 years for me. I was in braces for at least three years.
