how long does it usually take with the tightening of braces to close the gaps between teeth if you have teeth pulled out?
i want to know because i will have teeth pulled out before i put on braces.

HI,
DON'T WORRY PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT. JUST GET IT DONE AND WAIT FOR THEM TO CLOSE.

I had to get 4 teeth taken out before my braces went on a good few years ago and it took about 2 years for my teeth to be striaight.

Differs for everyone I believe. 2 months with braces so far, had four teeth removed, still a fair way to go.

It may take some time ( I had mine for six years, but the corrections may be different) don't rush the process, if you move your teeth too fast you risk getting pyrea (spelling?) which is an infection in these pockets inside your gums that are formed from moving the teeth too quickly.....then your teeth would probably fall out.....not cool! Take your time, talk to your orthodontist and before you know it you will have a beautiful smile to show off.....good luck!

My gap closed in about 2 weeks. It depends on how bad the gap is.

It can take months. It has to be done a little at a time for your mouth structure to adjust. Just think at the end you'll have a beautiful smile!
