  • You can't schedule with a dentist, you need and orthodontist.

    It will take at least a month to three months to get on.... weeks if your lucky.

    To close a gap and streighten teeth will be a usual brace process, 3 days with spacers, get the braces on which will stay on anywhere from one to three years.

    You cannot possibly have braces for days or months.... When you shift you teeth to close the gap you are changing the way your teeth hit eachother, this means you need to streighten both top and bottom teeth and once the bite changes you need to correct the bite with bands. This is a long process, you will always need to wear retainers to keep the teeth pretty and straight once the braces are removed...Braces are not a fun process but the results are wonderful.

  • Usually the minimum amount of time anyone is in braces is six months to a year, even for simple tooth movement. If they used stronger wires for faster movement, it could damage your teeth and gums.

  • Well it will take WAY more than a couple of days.

    Probably about under a year or maybe a bit more but you should ask your dentist :)

  • You actually have to go to an orthodontist. Making an appointment could take a couple months. Then they'll do a consultation to determine what you need. After that it could be a couple months to possibly a year

  • well after the moulds im sure it wont be much more than a few week/ months

    i think i had to wait about a month for my braces but your mouth sounds like it needs more work , so i'd say 2 months.

  • Well, the worse it is the longer it will be. Most my friends have had them in for half a year, even when I haven't spotted anything wrong with their teeth.

  • that would be something you ask your dentist..
