How long is your estimated treatment time?

[Tyrantblade]

Just wondering where along the line we all fit.

I suspect most of us are probably estimated at 18-24 months, which seems to be a fair estimated treatment time, unless your case is mild (either due to luck or because you are getting treatment a second time); I'm estimated at 24 months, and I'm approaching month 16, so almost 2/3rds down.

It seems like the time has been flying by, but then again, it's has been over a decade of delaying (because as a teenager parents didn't have the money, not because I refused lol).

18 months + surgery + 12 months, I have a significant discrepancy between what I have and what I need so I wouldn't be surprised to see even more time tacked onto that

I'm glad I didn't need surgery or extractions, especially surgery, time isn't quite a bother (usually anyways), I can only imagine how the recovery from surgery is, plus the cost

My estimated treatment time is 30 months.

6-9 months but that includes the Wilkodontics procedure I had 2 weeks ago.

[sandiego88]

18 months. I just passed the year mark. I needed surgery but decided to forego it.

Ive been told to expect three years, that's including surgery, from when I start in Jan 17. A bit longer than average because my teeth are a bit wonk.

30 to 35 months depending on my treatment.

My estimated time was 20 months. I'm sitting at nearly 40 months right now, but my permanent retainers are on and I've been told my braces will come off as a "New Years" present. I have an appointment Friday and will probably make me debracing appointment then.

I'm not really sure why it took so long other than my ortho is a perfectionist (which is NOT a bad thing!). I also had to have an impacted canine extracted, 3 wisdom teeth extracted, and I'm getting the first step to an implant done on Monday for a molar I had pulled as a child.

Braces time is estimated 18-24 months. Pre-braces there was an additional 4 months of consultations, deciding on treatment, extractions and healing.

[Shelleyt]

24 months, hopefully decreased due to use of acceledent and wilckidontics, but sadly I am actually behind schedule so far

[littleb3ar]

Got my braces on 11/28/16 & four premolars taken out 12/3/16. I was told my treatment time will be about two years. Hopefully it ends up being shorter than that.

Mine is 15-18 months and I am currently 10 months in, however I think my treatment will last longer than the estimated 18 months as I need two extractions next month and cannot imagine they will be closed in the space of 7 months! I

18 months. It was my choice wether or not to get surgery, and I chose not to. Instead my ortho will "camouflage" my overbite. No extractions necessary.

I had ceramics upper and lower plus TPA fitted 29th November with an estimate treatment time of 2 years but I'm hoping I can get them removed a little sooner as I turn 30 in October 2018 and it'd be nice to have the job done by then!
