im a braceface and i have overbite and crossbite. about how long would i have to wear rubber bands?

Question:

all opinions are appreciated. my teeth arent as bad as they sound. my overbite isnt huge but to be more specific, it bites half way down on my teeth.
my crossbite isnt that big but my front bottom teeth arent aligned with the top.
also, my front two teeth on the bottom are different levels. one of the teeth is taller than the other. Is there any way to fix this??

Answers:
well the only way to answer this question is i hope you like the taste of rubber.seriously your gonna have to wear them until your mid line is straight. (that mean when your looking in the mirror the line in between the front 2 teeth is the mid line.) the upper and lower mid line align up so when you close your teeth together the line in between match up perfectly with the lower mid line.Try doubling up your elastics and wear them all the time this will help speed up the process.But don't expect it to happen over night. Your teeth take time to move so be patient you'll have them off one day.
The second question- If there at different level when they remove your braces you can ask your dentist to articulate them and he or she can use a hand piece with a white stone to even them out.

I have braces and for my condition, you have to
wear it for a year.

for ever nae for about 2-3 years cause yo teeth r pretty bad

you may not have to wear rubber bands. i had braces & never wore them.
i had very crooked teeth too.
one of your teeth looks "taller" than the other because it is pushed behind the other, once they straighten out & they get lined up they will look the same size.

ask your orthodontist these Q's on your next visit. we cant answer them for you.

Just wondering if you also have soreness of the scalp? Trying to rule out some things often associated with over-bite.
