Answers:
The only person that knows the answer to that question is your orthodontist. If you are cooperating with the Dr's. instructions, keeping your appointments and wearing your elastics, if prescribed, then you should be on target to get them off within the original time-frame.

Wearing elastics depends on what is needed for your particular case. Some people never wear elastics, others wear them towards the end of their treatment to do some final adjustments on their bite. If you do have to wear them, make sure you wear them for the time they are prescribed.Health Question & Answer

I'm suppose to wear my braces for 24 months but I may have to extend my plan because I don't really like to wear the elastics. But it all depends on you. If you wear your elastics like your suppose to then your all good. also it depends on the condition of your teeth. If there is no cross bite or any other problems then you should get your braces off right away. Good Luck!Health Question & Answer
