I'm not sure exactly how long I have left, but I'm hoping they'll be off before my 27th birthday in May next year.

I'll be getting them out before my 19th birthday. So 18 for me, another year to go. Feels like a long while, but i know it is all worth it, especialy after my jaw surgery.
i just turned 48 hopefully before i'm 49

Hmm. If all goes well, then I should have them off at 17 and 11 months.
If treatment goes on even one month longer, then I'll be 18.

I have Gac In-ovation brackets (self-ligating). I got my braces Dec 29 2003. My estimated treatment time is 27 months. I got my braces off Dec 5 2005 after 23 months and 1 week.
