I have got braces, and have had them on for about a year now.
I still have 2 gaps where teeth were taken out for my teeth to be straigtened.
But in the last 2 months, they have realy been iratating (Mainly Rubbing), so does any 1 know how long you have braces on for?
i think i need braces soon, i was told i'd have 'em for 18 months but idk if it varies or w/e.
It varies from person to person, depending on how much work you need doing on your teeth. I've had mine on for 32 months now, so imagine how I feel :P If they're rubbing you should have been given some small sticks of wax to stop it, so use them.
ive had mine on since November 2005 and this time next week they will be off :]
I did have some some where :lQuote:

1 - 2 year depends on how bad your teeth are then you get a retainer and you wear that for quite a while 1 year it might be.

It does vary. I had mine for 8 months.
It all depends on how bad your teeth are. Like if your teeth aren't that bad like just one gap then it could take a year. But it depends on what your dentist thinks. It's his decision. Each person varies because we all have different teeth.
Why would you want braces? Their very difficult to take care of. You have to use all this equipment to brush your teeth && if you don't brush them properly you will end up with a yellow rectangle on your teeth from the braces. Really, I wouldn't want them. Their very hard to care for. If you do get them waste of money unless you need them && good luck.
