I've had braces on for about 2 years, and
the orthodontist is telling me that at
least another year is required for one
(yes, just one) gap to be corrected. Note
this gap does not impair me in any way.
Is it possible to get my braces taken off
at my (or my parent's) will? Will they
have to sign any sort of contracts or the
such? Thanks for any help

I had braces a couple years ago, and I
would think that if you were to take your
braces off early that it will be very
likely that your teeth will go back what
they were before you got them. However I
don't think that you can take braces off
early, unless its for a medical reason or
soemthing like that. If I were you I
would wait out the extra year to get the
perfect smile, then having my teeth go
back crooked and what-not and spending
more thousands to get braces put back on!
In the long run I think that you will be
happy that you waited.

Please Leave Your Braces On!! Posted: 05-12-04 11:12am
I know having braces on at this time in
your life is a realdrag,but if you
complete them now you can prevent problems
later on.If you think having braces now is
bad,imagine doing it at 59!!!My boss(who
is a dentist ) just got hers put on!!Stick
with it,you'll be glad you did!!
