The reason I'm asking this is because I'm getting them next week and my dentist says when your teeth are straight

It depends on your case, but usually about 1-2 years. I had mine for FOUR years (i already got them off though). my teeth were really bad but now they're .. perfect :D
take a smiling pic before you get your braces, it would be a while before you see them wireless

Depends on when the orthodontist gets them into the optimal position. (correct bite and no crookedness) Depends on how your teeth react and if you break any thing
Some get them off within a year. Some, even 3 years

Hey! I get them tomorrow! I think it is about 2 years on average but it really depends on your teeth and maybe your orhtodontist!
God Bless!

around 2 years.
but you never know, one friend of mine had hers for 8 months and the other had it for 9 years (on and off).
usually oral surgery increases the time, but i had oral surgery and i only had them on for a little over 2 years.
i'd say everything was worth it because i love my teeth :)

It depends on how bad your teeth are. I only had mine for six months. I have a cousin that has had them for three years. It just depends.
