Anyway, I have class 1 malformation with some mild crowding and spacing and have an estimated treatment time of 1 year. I was wondering how often braces are removed before the estimated duedate? I was hoping that they could be off by August in time for my holiday. Also, I did a search and couldn't find if ortho's ever remove braces for special occaisions? I would be willing to remove them and put them back on after my trip if that is an option.
