Generally what is the full time span of wearing braces?!


Question: Generally what is the full time span of wearing braces?
I know it depends on your case but generally how long do you have to have braces and a retainer for.
I've had braces for about 13-14 months now, and I originally got them because of an impacted tooth.
And just out of morbid curiosity how long did you have your braces and retainer in for?

I had mine for a year and a half, and my sister had her's for three years. It all depends on the person's teeth to begin with. You're supposed to wear the retainer for the rest of your life as the teeth continue to move even after the braces are removed.



as you said everyone is different. i had mine for 2 and a half years and a retainer for a further year . i am still meant to wear a guard at night in bed but i don,t as it makes me feel like i am chocking . i would say the average seems 2 yrs .



24 months is what they say but it depends on if your teeth have moved to the proper position if not u must wear them for a longer period of time



2 years
