      @@elsewayy Honestly, the most vital thing I can tell you is to do what your orthodontist tells you. All my friends complained theirs were on for so long, but it’s because they didn’t listen. Granted, my case wasn’t too bad overall and I only had them for a year, but the end result of getting them off is so worth it.

    I’m 9 months into a 20 month sentence and just received elastics last week. I’m wearing them as much as I can because I’m excited to see the changes. My midline is off and I still have gaps between my upper canines and incisors. Hopefully they close quickly.

    I’m getting my braces off soon now I need to wear rubber bands on both sides for a week and it’s painful I just had rubber bands on one side. The rubber bands I have now are more breakable and more heavier the one I had before were the complete opposite. And the one I also have keep snapping which is annoying at least I won’t have braces for prom and my exams, I only have braces for 18 months ( a years and 6 months)

    I have had my braces for over 2 years now. My front tooth has come down and what was left of my gap has been filled as much as possible. My left lateral incisor was the problem but has moved down when it was originally positioned up. I had both of my second premolar teeth removed so my lateral incisor could move down. I don't think the gap that was originally made after having second premolar teeth removed can be filled by just the first premolar and my lateral incisor.
    Every time I ask how long will the treatment take I only get met with a vague response and just get told to wear my elastics when I do wear them. I know the Orthodontist knows best but right now I feel like they are purposely avoiding my question I have been asking them for a year when I ask them my question politely.

    Hello! My son got braces 6 months ago( simple case, just for 3 slightly rotated fronth upper teeth) he had a perfect bite( a liitle overjet, a little overbite) and now his bite is really off, although those 3 teeth are still crooked, they didn't budge! I know you'd advise me to ask his orthodontist, but i already did and all she always says is: "there are stages" "teeth move in stages" ....ehat should I do? Thank you, doctor!

    I hate my teeth even after 2 years with braces. All my teeth are oddly shaped one of them is circular and tiny and the rest are square or oval. 😔 my orthodontist said I should thank my parents when I asked if he’d be able to re-shape them. I feel so insecure about my teeth I don’t know what to do

    I just got my braces today and I already want it to be over. My teeth are naturally straight honestly however there is an overbite and 1-2 crooked teeth on the bottom row but they dont cause me any problems. I was told I had a mild case of "overcrowding". My doctor estimated that I could get my braces off within 15 months (which is just an average from other patients with similar problems) but school is starting soon, and I would like to get them off in about 2-3 months. I know that seems impossible, but I was content with my smile in the first place and I think that might be enough time to get those 2 little teeth in a straighter position. I'm no orthodontist so if anyone has any tips or advice for a first-timer or if you truly think that I will be able to get my braces off before school starts, let me know please! This is something that slipped my mind while I was at the clinic.
