I was braced December 16,2004 so that's 13 months. I was given an estimated time of 20 months but now it's looking more like 16 months, so I am almost there!! So so so happy!!

It has been just over 11 months. Minimum of 30 months, depending on how quickly my impacted canine comes into position.

I was braced on top on 14 Dec 2004 - so 13 months.

My bottom arch got braced at the end of April 2005 - so nearly 9 months.

I don't have a treatment estimate time though - beyond "at least a year" :roll:

My ticker shows how long I've had them on... I think roughly 6 months. And my estimated treatment time is 15 to 18 months. The last payment is Oct of 2006, but he said I might have to keep them on until Jan of 2007. So about a year left. I got them on July 2005.
Estimated Time: 15-18 months

My signature shows everything. I do hope to get them off sooner than 24 months, but I don't think that's going to happen.
Braces removed 10 months early on 1/23/07!
