I really hope that my estimated timeframe isn't accurate! :) Because my ortho told me at least 4 years and at 2 years when I asked him about how much longer he told me has no idea! :shock: HE doesn't even want to begin to guess yet! :? He said everytime he fixes something he finds another problem! :roll: To all of you who will or have finished early that's incredibly exciting and consider yourselves lucky! :wink: :D

Here's to hoping we all finish at least a little early! :lol: :thumbsup: :dance:

I was originally told 18 months, and I am getting my braces off sometime in the next few weeks, which makes it around 14 months...4 months early sounds good to me! :D
