Tooth extraction gaps!

[ravitokas90]

My teeths are braced for 2 months now.
I have had 4 premolars(up and downside) extracted.
The thing I am worried about,why the hell my extraction gaps not closing?
How much more it would take to close?
The other problem is,I have my 2nd upper molar and upcoming wisdom of right side bent towards right.
Am worried since,the band is fitted on my first molar.So,how would my 2nd molar would change its position to alligned one?
Thanks in advance

It's going to take a long time for your gaps to close. Remember, teeth only move safely 1mm per month. I had two teeth pulled as well and now I'm in my final weeks of treatment, and the last gap is just now closing up. There's a lot more to treatment than just closing up the gaps. Certain other teeth may need rotated, the bite will need adjusted, etc. Orthodontic treatment is a very long process, and can be very complex. There's a lot more going on in there than many people realize. One thing you can do to help yourself better understand what is happening, is to ask your orthodontist at each visit what he/she is doing and hopes to accomplish with that adjustment. Then, with each adjustment that you go in, you will start to gain some knowledge of what is happening with your mouth and you can watch the changes occur. I know it's frustrating sometimes not seeing results right away, but you're not likely to see a whole lot happen in just two months. Just remember, all kinds of wierd things are going to happen with your teeth before you're done.

I don't think they'll be closing for the meantime because I had 4 premolars extracted and 6 months into my treatment is when they began to close the gaps, its probably because they had to get my teeth aligned first.

I had four teeth on the top taken out (very near the front and very visible). Don't worry, most people dont even notice!! It takes a while for the gaps to start to close. I've had my braces on for almost two years now and my gaps aren't closed yet, still a good 2 or 3 mm each
