Answers:

It just depends on how much work your teeth need. It takes a long time to move teeth around and it is a gradual process. I have to have mine on for at least 18 months and then a retainer at night forever. I do modeling tand am using the invisalign ones. You cant even see them. They are a series of plastic trays that snap over your teeth and slowly move them. You change to a new tray every two weeks and then see the dentist once a month to see if the teeth are moving how they are spossed to. It is sure better than all those rubber bands...plus I can eat popcorn!!
