I will be wearing braces for about 18 months. It seems like forever right now... and I am hoping that it won't take any longer than that.

What about you?

I was told 6-9. Am currently at 5 1/2 with a fair amount still to do. So presumably 9+.

I was sentenced to 24 months :P I've done 12 so far and my ortho hasn't mentioned an end date yet so I'm assuming it'll be another 11!

14 months, unless they have to do extractions (I'll find out mid-treatment)

My expected treatment period is 30 months, but that is with surgery after approx 12 months...... im on day 2.....ok so I have a while to go haha

30 months. Includes possible extraction, elastics and a frenectomy. 10 months in so far, and things are right on schedule. Would love to have them off early but not getting my hopes up. :p

I was told 28-32 months and that 2.5 years was common in adults but...

I will end up at 20 months total

I am at 18 months and have 64 more days

I got 18 - 24 months....I'm at 2weeks now...lol

SO too soon to tell if it'll be sooner or later

12 to 18 months. First six for the major overhaul, then fine tuning and "customizing," as the ortho said this morning.

I have no idea what my number is..........I was originally doing a hybrid treatment with damons and invisalign, but have steered away from the invisalign and just gonna complete my treatment with damons....I am guessing that I will have my braces off by next summer....which will be about 18 months.....I have had them 8 already and time has flown by!

The quotes I got from my different consults range from 17-22 months. The ortho I'm going with says 19 months on my contract, but I'm expecting 2 years, just 'cause.

Records appt on Thursday!

Somewhere around 12-18 months. I honestly have no idea where in that spectrum i'll end up though...

initially my orthodontist estimated 18 months - 2 years pre surgery, and then 6-12 months after. So far i've done 26 months before surgery, i have another 2.5 months before surgery and then a new estimate of 3-6 months after. You learn to be very patient during this journey!

Almost 18 months as well. Debanding is set for August 6 and I cannot wait! We're almost there!

18-24 months. I'm at 9.5 months now.
