How long will i need my braces?

Depends: Depends on the severity of your malocclusion, the skill of your treating Dentist (hopefully you are seeing a qualified Orthodontic Specialist), and your level of cooperation. Ask your Orthodontist for a time estimate to resolve your problem set...no two malocclusions are exactly alike.
