Finally got my consultation after years of heeing and hawing. Getting my braces on next month, bottom to start with. Ortho says I have a Class II overbite and a crossbite on my right side due primarily to bottom right molars being flared out. He'll add a lingual arch between my bicuspids for stability. 8-10 months to fix that and then one tooth out on the upper right side & then top braces, 16-20 months, for a total sentence of 24-30 months.
Anyone ever get bottom braces first? Also is there anything I need to worry about with that long of a sentence?
Overall I'm glad I'm doing this finally & can't wait to officially get started.

Hello!
Congratulation on your decision to improve your teeth.
I think it's fairly common to get top and bottom done at different times. I got my upper brace on about a month before the bottom.
At this stage the time will seem like a huge amount, but in reality, it passes pretty quickly. Having braces becomes normal, and then before you know it, you'll be finished!
I wish you all the best!
