How long do you have to wear braces?!


Question: How long do you have to wear braces?
Im going to have braces soon. Two of my teeth are rotated about 90 degrees and I have a small gap. How long would I have to wear braces?

Answers:

If there's nothing too major (it sounds like there isn't) then it shouldn't be too long - maybe 18 months or so.

But it really depends, teeth move at different speeds. If yours move slowly then it will take longer, if they move quickly then it will obviously be quicker...

Good luck :)



one of my front tooth was rotated diagonally, and i had other teeth tht were sorta crooked, it took 3 years. my friend who had an overbite but not any rotated teeth took 1 year, but you never know, the orthodontist usually makes a good estimate ive experienced, you should ask him when you get the braces:]



You can wear braces from up to a year, but it just really depends how bad are your teeth. Personally my orthodontist anticipates me having mine on for a year. Of course you wear your retainers for like ever.



It depends on how severe your teeth are, and it depends on your ortho.
It normally talks about 2 and a half years, so enjoy them
and try a bunch of colors. Have fun.



Those problems are pretty typical. The average amount of time for having braces is 2 years, so you will most likely have them no more than 2 years



It depends on the person. I only had to wear mine for 21 months, but some people have them for many years. Ask your orthodontist.



It depends on how bad the teeth are. I had mine for about 2 1/2 years.



Approximately 2 - 3 years
