I just got my braces today and they're going to fix my overbite and now there telling me that they need to pull out 2 teeth .... How long will it take till the teeth come together?..the teeth that need to be pulled relatively close to the the side and will show the missing tooth very noticeable ...I really don't want that so am I able to get them off?

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Orthodontic Treatment and its outcome depends upon the age of the patient and severity of the the misalignment of the teeth..
The results of the treatment comes faster in patients who get the treatment done in between the age groups of around 14 years to 21 years which is an approximate figure and the results are delayed after 5 years of age as most of the growth and development is complete by 25 years of age..
At at average the Fixed Orthodontic Treatment is carried on for a period of around 1.5 years with a relaxation of a few months more or less..

The empty spaces opened up after extraction will start to get closed soon as there will not be dense bone in that area and the tooth movement will take faster in that area..

You need not to worry and cooperate with your Orthodontist as the results of treatment will be making a permanent improvement in your appearance and make you look aesthetically better..

Hope this information helps..
