It May Possibly Take 5 Years
Aywhere between 18-36 months, depending on your progress
If your teeth are under 6 inches long, less than 4 years.
2-3 years quite a long time.
My daughter is about to get braces and they will be on for 18 months to 2 years. Her orthodontist said she only uses the metal wires as the coloured or clear plastic wire adds another 12 months on to wearing braces and no matter what the colour everyone wants them off as soon as possible.
