It is a rather long time to have braces on... but before you tell the dentist to take them off, get a second opinion from another dentist in your area...
Hope that helps

Should you be excited about braces?
I've had my braces for almost two years.... the only reason I was ever excited about braces was that I would eventually get them off and have awesome teeth:] but BRACES suck you don't enjoy eating especially if you have rubberbands and EVERYTHING gets stuck in your teeth and by the next meal you still have food in your teeth
How many years do you wear braces?
it depends on what your orthodontist says is needed for your teeth
My friend is getting braces but unfortunately her teeth are all shapes and sizes will they still look really nice and neat after she takes them off two years later?
yes i got braces 2 years ago and my teeth were like hers and by the time i got my braces off, my teeth were perfect and they look really nice. hope this helps...
Can you get braces having wisdom teeth?
AnswerIn most cases, there should be no problem in having your wisdom teeth extracted while you are still wearing braces.This is usually done when there is an infection on the wisdom tooth, or when the extraction is indicated to help with the orthodontic treatment.AnswerAfter having had braces, for four years, the orthodontist told me which teeth had to be extracted PRIOR to the braces being put on. The extraction sites had to then heal, before the braces could be applied. Working around braces is so difficult, that normal dental cleanings and flossing can NOT be done.
What should you do to stop the gaps between your teeth if you had braces years ago and now they are getting separated again?
You're not going to want to hear this but you have to get braces again. Yeah, bummer. Same thing happened to me. I thought once you had braces that was it. Forever. Not so. Many people find that their teeth begin to move 20, 30 + years after having their braces off. I'm 37 and had my braces off when I was around 12 or so. My teeth started moving a lot about two years ago. My dentist told me that lots of people need (what she called) "a second round of ortho." Ideally its best to have your teeth corrected before they get TOO much out of whack again. I just don't have the dental insurance for that. Braces nowadays come in clear and even removable form so you won't look like you did when you first had braces. Do a Google search on "adult braces" and you'll find plenty of articles! ~ T
Do you need braces if you are ten years old and have buck teeth?
It depends how bad it! My friend she had buck teeth but when she got older her teeth started to expand and grow together and be straight. So go to the dentist they will tell u if u need braces are not!
Does getting braces hurt if you have crooked teeth?
You will have to get braces if your teeth are twisted but you don't have to get them until your 20,30 or 40 years old and your teeth can untwist if you lose all your baby teeth I think.
When can you remove braces?
It all depends on the crooked teeth, and the patient that comes to the office After two years
What can you do if your teeth have moved years after having braces?
You have to get braces again. Yeah, bummer. Same thing happened to me. I thought once you had braces that was it. Forever. Not so.

How long should someone wait after they're fitted before getting their braces off?
The length of time braces need to be worn depends on the condition of the teeth of the wearer. In most cases, braces are worn for well over a year, but wearing them longer than five years is rare.
If you get your braces out do you get a retainer?
It depends of what your orthodontist or dentist recommend. But most of the times, you have a retainer to wear for a few years, and a retaining wire behind your front teeth (upper and/or lower) that you most likely to wear all your life.
I have crocked teeth and i missed out on braces in my younger years can i get perfect teeth surgically?
No, but you can still get braces as an adult. They have something called Invisalign now; you can't even see them. http://www.invisalign.com/Pages/Home.aspx Ask your dentist about them!
