get a second opinion. I have braces, adn the first dentist i went to (just a consult before they were put on) said i would have to have braces for a year and a half, jaw surgery, and then braces for another 2 years. I thought that seemed kind of long, so i went to another dentist and he said i would have to have braces for a year, the surgery,and then probably 8 months of braces after.


ps.its really important to keep your teeth clean!
Reply:I only had mine for 18 months but I've heard people who've had them for 5 years. He should have seen your case a being difficult fron the start. Have you been doing everything he tells you to - exactly how and when and for how long - If you have, I would go to another dentist and get a second opinion.
Reply:I had braces for 7 years. It really depends on how crooked your teeth are. I had to have 4 permanent teeth pulled, a palatal expander, surgery to uncover a tooth and pull it into place, AND wear a hawley bow retainer. And I still got root resorbtion from my teeth moving too fast.
