7 months
Reply:I'm sorry but I hope you don't think it's actually going to take exactly 7mths.... that clearly wasn't the best answer but if thats what you'd like to pick then fine. Report It

Reply:18 months
Reply:from 1.5-2 years





they now have different color braces.. some actually match the color of your teeth
Reply:Good for you getting braces. Keep them on as long as it takes. You won't be disappointed. Welcome to the USA.
Reply:It depends on what you have it will be from 2 to 4 years.
Reply:First of all it's great that you've been able to save up money towards fixing your teeth! You'll definitely be happy about the results in the end, so good for you.





Unfortunately none of us here (even orthodontists answering these questions) can say exactly how long it will take. The average time is around 2 years because the teeth need to be moved slowly so that the bone has time to regrow around them to keep the teeth stable.





From the pictures it seems like you have a bit of an underbite, and a bit of an openbite, as well as some crooked teeth.... which is probably what will be explained to you at your ortho appointment.





There's definitely a lot of teeth that need to be moved to help fix your bite and fix the rotated teeth, so I'd stick with an estimation of 2years. If things go well, it could be around a year and a half, and if a few things change it could be a few months or so past 2 years.





I'm not sure what you mean about the braces making the teeth look less noticeable, but once the teeth are aligned right you wouldn't want them to be less noticeable because they'll look awesome.





Goodluck with the braces, and make sure you brush very well 3 times a day (or after you eat). Ask your orthodontist to show you exactly how because you don't want to get any cavities while you have the braces.
Reply:2-3 years of braces. plus you are going to get an epander for u=yourupper jaw. your top teeth should over lap ur bottom teeth. so 2-3 years braces and 4-6 months expander. or alittle more becuase I had alomst the same problem exept my teeth werein better condition.(don't take this offensevly plz) so good luck . (its not as bad as every onr says it is)
