I have to get my lower bicupids extracted to prepare for lower jaw surgery (BSSO). How long does it take to close the gaps?

Re: Gaps closure time ?
Hi bracesscared...
I actually wanted to ask the same question to everyone. I had 2 upper & 2 lower pre-molars taken out in January which is 4 months ago and honestly i don't think i can see any visible decrease in the gap space. It may have moved a tiny bit but to my eyes it looks just the same as it was back in January. I don't have any fake tooth in place. It's a bit embarassing sometimes as the gap is very much visible when i smile and i think it looks worst on us who have linguals compared to those with normal braces.
Just wondering how long it took others out there to close the gap.
