I am a little over a year into the 18 month estimate I was given and so far so good. At my last appointment I was switched to a wire that will allow her to do fine tuning of individual teeth. She told me that my teeth were almost there so if all goes well I should get them off on or before the 18 mos mark (fingers crossed).
Braced: March 18, 2016
De-bonded : December 29, 2017 (22 months out of the 18-24 month treatment plan I was given)
Retainers: Fixed on top and bottom/ Clear, removable for nighttime wear

I'm about a month in right now. The plan is 24 months. Hopefully I'll have a decent smile before my sister wedding :D

I'm in my first month of a 18- to 24-month estimate. For those of you who went beyond the initial estimate, at what point in the treatment did your orthodontist inform you?

I was only told that I'm making good progress and that I'm right where I should be; so at least not going slower than estimated, but I will know my full treatment time when I get a debrace date; probably in August (right around the 24 month mark)
Lots of crimes here

1. The upper molars bite too far ahead of the lower molars

2. Missing teeth #s 9, 14, and, 29

3. Open bite

4. Upper midline left of center

5. Lower midline right of center

6. Upper and lower teeth not straight

Sentence - 24 months, turned to 27 month.

Braces removed since 11/06/17
