Top Teeth Braces!?!


Question: okay so, im going to to dentist tomorrow...
and they always want me to get braces, but the thing is my bottom teeth are COMPLETELY straight, the dentist even said so, but my top teeth have these two minor spaces on one side of my mouth, but the other side is straight. but im kinda insecure about the spaces, so i kinda want braces...
so after all that is said and done Two questions:

1. Can i get braces on just my top teeth
2. Since the space is minor... can i jsut have the braces for like 6 or seven months as opposed to a year and a half?

I just got my braces off but my teeth were completely messed up...
But I had a friend with the same problem and she got her braces on the top for 6 months and then got them off. GL

You can get braces on the top only.

The length of time it takes to move the teeth to the desired location varies from person to person. The average is from 18 months to 30 months for children and may be longer for adults. The time depends on the difficulty of the case, the amount of room available, the distance the teeth must travel, the cooperativity of the patient and the bone and the age of the patient.

Yes, you can get them on the top only. The duration that you will have to wear them just depends on how long it takes for your teeth to straighten out.

yes for both questions.
