How long will i have to have braces for?
I was supposed to have then for a year and 6 months. It was a year and 7 months when I got them taken off. The average time for braces is about 2 years, but my friend had hers on for 5 years. It really depends on how fast your teeth move, and if you have any setbacks. By setbacks I mean if you break anything, it sets you back about a month. So if you break one appliance, it means that you have about another month wearing braces. Also, if your orthodontist tells you to wear anything like rubber bands, or other appliances that you can remove, MAKE SURE YOU WEAR THEM! It will take a lot longer for your teeth to move if you don’t wear your appliances.
