Answers:
Most people have braces for about 28 months. The Dr. I work for is unlikely to only put them on the bottom. If you had perfect teeth on top and a perfect occlusion then maybe he would only do the bottom(although closing the space could change your occlusion any way). I'm sure most Orthodontists are the same way. You would probably have to get upper and lower taken care of, but you shouldn't worry. If the space on the lower arch is bothering you then you should go ahead and schedule a new patient visit. You don't have to decide what to do immediately but at least that way you can get an idea of what needs to be done and just kind of go from there. I think that if you get braces, you will be glad that you did.
