I got my braces on last August. I have no problems with my bite - but my teeth were very crooked on top and somewhat on the bottom. The Ortho said it should take between 12-15 mos tops. So here I am with just 3-6 mos left to go and although my teeth have moved a lot they are still pretty crooked on top. At the last adjustment he "filed" the top two teeth and said he would do that periodically. I was happy because I figured they'd start moving into place. I'm just wondering if it's realistic to expect a lot of movement in the last several months of treatment or if I should just expect to have these stupid things on for another year.
