I'm 14 with pretty teeth meaning I have white teeth. But I need braces because my teeth are over laping

Do you know how long I will have to have my braces in I'm 14 with perly white teeth?
Overlapping as in an overbite? I had an overbite and got braces put on. I got them in 6th grade and didn't get them off until I was a sophomore in high school! I had them for 5 years! And my teeth were not that bad at all, I just had a pretty bad overbite that they were trying to correct.





Also my orthodontist was always saying "next month and you will get them off!" He said that for years! Some people have them for a year or so, and some people have them for many years, like me! It just depends on how bad of an overbite you have.
Reply:braces don't affect the color of your teeth....so the fact that your teeth are white is irrelavent. depending on how crooked your teeth are and how often you go to get the wires tightened it could take anywhere from a year to possibly 3
Reply:2-3 years. sucks, i know, but at least they will be straight once you are in your late teens. trust me, it's worth it!
Reply:if you dont have them yet ask your dentist if you can get the invisaline they are just a form of your teeth instead of the wire braces..sometimes the wire braces give you stains on your teeth after they are taken off...most of the time you can have them for 4 years or so.
Reply:5 years
Reply:It depends on the severity of your teeth, my daughter has a underbite and she has to have hers on for at least 2 years she is 15. Don't worry hun you will have nice teeth when it is all done with.
