It's different with everyone... it also depends how bad your bite is. I started out with a overbite that wasn't too bad... then they gave me rubber bands and I never wore them. :P But my guess is since you're wearing them it shouldn't take too long. My overbite is fixed now. :) People usually will at least have their braces on from a year to two and a half but depends on your teeth. :D My guess is it won't take to long now. The only thing is that the teeth have to lock in place which takes a while.
Hopes this helps. :)
Bracceesss :P
personally, i had my braces put on, then the elastics put on like a year later. about a year later i was done with the elastics, and could get my braces off.
it really depends on your age/jaw.
younger people have more moldable bones, so it is quicker to adjust an over/under bite.
if you are anywhere between 6-12, that is prime time to do it!
i've had braces & i'm a dental assistant and used to work in a ortho office!
