how long?

If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.

I had mine for 21 months to correct moderate and severe crowding and a 4mm class II bite issue.

My daughter had hers for 24 months my son had his for 26 months and my youngest should have hers for 30 months.

Everyone is SO different.

What stage are you in? What are they working on now? That might help pinpoint your ending date more accurately.
