Was quoted 24-30 months. If my ortho sticks to her Aug 12th debanding date, mine will be off at the 33 month mark.

I was told I would be in braces 18 - 24 months. I am getting them off on June 24th which will be 25.5 months.

My original time was 18-22 months but I'm getting them off in a week and a half which will be almost exactly 15 months. My treatment went SO smoothly though, so I am very lucky.

I just got mine off after almost 3 years. Original estimate 1.5 years.

I was told 18-24 months, the orthodontist thought he could sort me out in 18 months. When I get my braces off it will be just under 20 months - not bad!

I know this is crazy, but the ortho said I'd be in braces for about 2 years, and I just started, but I want to wear them longer. I think I have some major psychological issues that distort my thinking. Who would want to wear braces longer than 2 years? Especially as an adult.

I was told 18 months, and I'm scheduled to pick up my removable retainers exactly 18 months from getting braced!

I was told that I'd have to wear my braces for 18-24 months. They're coming off next week which brings my time to about 2 1/2 years. So I guess that isn't too far off. I would've REALLY liked to had them off at 18 months, but oh well. Lol

My estimate was 12-18 months. They are coming off at 18 months 18 days (in 10 days!!!!)

I got mine in early June 2009, original ETA was 18-22 months which would've been between Dec 2010 & April 2011.

Mine come off tomorrow at 14 months 20 days!! Back in June my ortho thought I would've been done in October but everything moved so fast these past two months that he had to move the removal date closer. I can't wait to not have food stuck in my braces after a meal!!

I was quoted 18 months, and i've done about 14 ish i think on the bottom and just under 13 on the top, and they're coming off on thursday. so quite a dramatic difference in time, my teeth were good movers

I was quoted 12 to 18 months with double jaw surgery in there... I have an appointment to get them off in 2 weeks, which is 11 months in braces and 2 months after double jaw surgery

Braces off in 11 months! I was told 12 to 18 months.

Yay! My teeth are naked!

I didnt get an estimate, my ortho just told me at the first consultation that the treatment lasts for 2 years.
