OK, so I got an overbite, I don't think is that bad because I've surfed the net and read lots of people saying that is painful and that they can't swallow properly, I don't have that, but I just wanted to know if any of you guys can tell me how long on average one has to wear braces?, considering that I'm 21 and most likely finished growing. And if there is any alternative to the braces to avoid looking like a dork at 21.
