when will i get my braces off?
i havent had my braces for too long compared to how long all my friends had theirs. i just got mine in january so its only been about 9 months. i have been wearing rubberbands for like 3 months now (i just started to double up with them this month though) and i thought that rubber bands were put on when u got closer to the end of your braces life. is this right or do the rubber bands go on at all different times during the process? am i getting my braces off soon? i am a junior so i kinda want to get them off like...now.

It really depends on the mouth, and the dentist. The rubber bands either help an overbite or an underbite. They really don't calculate how much longer you will have your braces on for. The dentist could choose to fix all of the teeth flaws first then work on the jaw...that is what my dentist did, or he could work on the jaw first then the teeth. Some of my friends had the jaw fixed first. You will probably not be getting them off to soon. You normally have braces for about 1 year and a half, or 2 years. But they might want you in them for a shoter or longer time. Hope i helped!! don't forget to rate!

I had to wear rubber bands throughout most of the time I had braces.
The length of time you have to wear braces is different for every person. I wore mine for nearly 2 years.
Next appointment you have, discuss this with your orthodontist. They will be able to tell you approximately how long you have to wear them.
