My treatment time was one year but the time was cut in half because of Acceledent (which was awesome!).

I was told I would need mine 12-18 months total. In march it will be my year mark. I'm tired of having braces!

I started about a month ago now and my ortho said it will take a year for the braces and another year for the retainer. I truly hope that's the case!

My estimated time is 24 months. Today is Day 1 of my treatment and it feels like I have a lifetime to go before it is over.

My ortho gives almost everyone 18-24 months and he does this on purpose so people should not expect it to come off sooner than that date and have to accept to wear braces for that period of time. He says it could be longer or it could be shorter, everyone is different.
