Supposed to be under 6 months left, but really I'm not in a hurry and I will be thrilled as long as I don't have them on for my vacation in 2018 (some time in July; as we go around then every year; my estimated treatment time ends in August so I will have braces for the vacation this year); and that is only part of my journey since I will get 2 permanent implants as well (one front and one molar).
I have a Pontic (fake tooth) in the front now and that's why I have the gap and my gums look weird above it (as I have nothing for a root there until I get the implant process started)
Front

I hate the gap and looseness of the Pontic right now, but that's because the real front tooth moved the wrong way (i guess the bracket got loose) and they put a light wire in until my next appointment (next week)
Lots of crimes here
1. The upper molars bite too far ahead of the lower molars

One of my front teeth is a fake tooth and I have a big space near the back from a molar that got extracted after a filling came out and we didn't have thousands of dollars to restore it.

Are you having elastics to fix your bite?
Yes I have elastics and have since day one, as for the front tooth, it fell out when I fell out my face years ago, as far as implant cost, I can save money that used to go to my Orthodontist (since that's paid off) and use a flex card
