“How long does it take for teeth to move with braces?”
I'm 22 years old and I wear braces, I've been wearing them for about a 2 months. How long does it usually take for teeth to move with braces?

Teeth start moving within the first week of having braces placed. The length of time depends on the severity of your condition.
Usually after a few months, you can start to see that things are changing
Teeth move through bone. Some types of movement take less time than others. For example, tipping or rotating teeth is easy and fast. Sweeping and entire root bodily through bone takes much more time. The large molars in the back of the mouth have large, multiple roots and move slowly whereas lower incisors have small roots and move much faster. To get a better answer about the types of movements that you need would require an examination by a trained orthodontist or dentist.
That depends on the movement. Anywhere from 8 months to 2 years is very common.
