This is a reconstructive jaw surgery forum. I doubt most people here will be able to answer your question.

Hi, I had my impacted canine exposed when I was 15 and got it taken off last year at 17. I think I might have had it longer as I'm getting my underbite sorted though, and it stayed until my top teeth were ready for traintracks without my bottom teeth biting them off, but if you are literally just having this treatment and nothing else you might need the side brace for a shorter time period? I don't know. Ask your orthodontist, they'll be able to tell you
