I'm going through the same thing! My top teeth are done, it's just the bottom teeth that are being so stubborn. One tooth was rotated, and now they are crowded. Not sure how long it will be. I cannot wait to get my braces off, but my stubborn teeth are delaying a debanding date!
I know i"ve only been in braces for 3 months, but i'm waiting for just one stubborn turned tooth to move. Most of my treatment is going to be closes my gaps, moving my midline and perfect the size of the spaces we leave for my canine implants. Right now my bottom teeth are perfect. I just have this one stink'n pre-molar that is slightly rotated, and it will not budge. Its powerchained to my lateral canine (my canine thats becoming my lateral, had to give it a name) and all the chain has done is move the lateral away from the central. Sigh....the ortho says maybe two months more, then i get bigger wires, full chains and elastics.
