How Long Should I Wear Braces?

hi I have a few questions. so I had my braces on for almost 2 1/2 yrs (about) and I got my elastics about 3-4 months almost or maybe is 5 months now, but anyways, I always wear them and I have a 2mm overbite (about) (I tried to measure it). I m going to the orthodontist on May 22. do you think that s going to be the last visit before I get my braces off. do u think I will get my braces off on that visit or the next visit? when do u think I m getting my braces off? also is there anything I can do to speed up the process of my jaw moving while I m wearing my elastics? also, how fast do elastics work? oh!, btw, I wear the mountain gorilla elastics. ok thank you.
