About 4 months, hopefully. He said as long as nothing goes wrong, it is mostly cosmetic.
That's nothing! It will fly by, I'm sure.
So I never had braces as a kid, but I now have two teeth that are slowly turning crooked I'm nervous that they're just going to keep getting worse and worse.
So unless I want to shell out major $$$ or Invisalign I might be in your position soon.

You should hurry in and see if it can just be fixed by placing a permanent bracket behind the teeth. I'm getting a small bracket behind the two top teeth once they are straight to keep them from moving.
I think they're fine! I'm debating doing this on my lower teeth for cosmetic purposes too. Dumb 12 year old me never wore the retainer I was supposed to after getting my braces off. That's too much responsibility for a kid!

Good thinking! I'm seeing the dentist for a cleaning tomorrow, I'll see what they think.

Aww, thanks guys.
I'm actually pretty happy with how they look but I'm not excited about the extra cleaning and torn up gums again stupid wisdom teeth coming in after my first set and me not wearing my retainer anyway.

4 months will fly by . I talked to my dentist yesterday about invisalign, he is sending me a quote soon. I never had braces as a kid, but my bottom teeth are crowding together now, and I am afraid it will only get worse.

Just be honest with yourself about invisalign commitment. I knew I would take them out or not wear them properly, so I decided for something permanent
Awww, you're adorable. I like that they're clear on top. Less noticeable. Stay away from coffee and tea. I really want need to get braces again.
Thanks I wanted clear on the bottom too, but he said he has issues with people breaking them all the time from biting down too hard, so I went with the recommended metal brackets.
I had them for the second time in my life 2 years ago and I really did look like I was 16 again, despite being 25. lol My younger-by-7 years sister looked older than me. Ha
The time will go by super fast! I got my (fourth!) set on in October, for what was supposed to be 6 months. Ortho just informed me that they will be coming off at the appt following my January one. I can't believe how fast it has gone.
