Greetings to you! Read your query. Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.
U see, the treatment time for orthodontic problems are not the same. It varies from person to person and mostly depends on the severity of the problem. Also it depends on the patient's cooperation for the treatment. For the canine that is out of the arch u need not worry as of now since it can get back to its normal place in the arch at the end of the treatment. Usually canines won't be extracted unless the dentist is left with no other option. Per molars are the ones usually extracted.
You will be asked to wear a retainer at the end of the treatment which holds your teeth in the newly positioned place. If those are not worn for the prescribed time there is every chance that the teeth would go back to their abnormal positions.
So please have patience as you have waited this long, your treatment might get over in a few months time. Hope this helped you.
