How I did it: I did this when I moved overseas for two reasons.
1. A lot more affordable
2. We didn't know anyone so who cares :)
I was originally told 18 to 24 months but it took 30, partly because the palate expander having to be started over. It was also because it took longer than expected to overcome my crossbite. This was incredibly frustrating.
It sucked at first but was bearable throughout. In spite of what people might tell you (parents or people who've never had them), you do not forget you are wearing them. It was most annoying when it went over the original timeline.
Its all good now. They are perfectly straight and I have a stronger, nicer jawline (no overbite). I'm grinning like the Cheshire Cat. :D
Lessons & tips: Doritos really will break them and make you have to go back. Unfortunately best avoided.
Resources: Ice-cream - no matter what the dentist says.
Whiskey - especially after an adjustment. Apologies to the underage.
