How long did it take for your gaps to close?
I got 3 teeth removed on Oct. 20. Now I am wearing bands to close the bottom spaces. How long did it take for your space/gaps to close? I will get my brackets and wires on the bottom once the spaces close as much at they can.
I had four teeth pulled in february, and then i was braced on the first of march. I still have three gaps from extractions. Three months ago my ortho started powerchains...so now we wait...
Spacers: 1/26/05; 2/6/06; 3/15/06; 4/24/06
4 First Bicuspids removed: 2/2005
Metal Braces, top and bottom: 3/1/05; Debanded 7/26/07
Hawley retainers top and bottom

Not sure what kind of gaps you're referring to but I'll let you know when my main ones get going. It's been 6 months and others have closed, just not the ones I REALLY want to.
Full upper and lower metal braces put on May 12, 2005.
Braces free as of April 18, 2006!
Temporarily rebraced Nov. 21, 2006. ( I think I've moved past temporary. )
Brace free again - July 26, 2007.

I had 2 upper teeth pulled, one on each side, so my front teeth can move back. They have been using power chains and I wear the rubber bands at different stations on my teeth 24/7. I have had braces on for almost 2 1/2 years now and the gaps have been there for about 2 years. There is still about a 1/4 inch gap. I will probably be wearing these for another year I bet.
