um.. No, the only thing that brushing your teeth will do with braces is keep your teeth healthy and clean.. Less chance of having white spot on your teeth once they are removed. Give the Braces a chance to work. If it makes you feel any better, i had braces for 5 years.. your two years is cake!

Braces are for straightening teeth, not making them whiter. Although it is good to brush after eating with braces because food can easily get stuck in between your braces, it has nothing to do with getting your braces off early.

Brushing has no effect on the timing of dental braces, but whehter you brush or not will have an effect on enemel de-calcification (AKA, WHITE SPOTS) and the health of the gums.

No they just keep you from getting nasty infections, bad breath, and help you get stuff out of your braces. Don't forget to floss. I never flossed and got a gum infection on the back teeth.
