All I can say is, straightening teeth can go quickly, but making the bite work presents its own challenges. Then there are those nasty setbacks like I'm experiencing .

Same here. My teeth looked straight 9 months ago, in fact I thought I would be done by June the most. My bite is the problem, she's been working on that since January.
at my consult he told me 12-18 months...after records he said 24 months...i guess he saw extra stuff that needed working on in the x-rays like my roots are bonkers or something

Glad I'm not the only one. Everyone keeps telling me "when are you getting them off, your teeth look so straight!"
