Longest Lasting Orthodontic Treatment

I was wandering through few Clinical cases online when i found this peculiar article about longest running Orthodontic treatments. I wonder how the patients managed wearing the gear for such a long duration, and know what, few people just didn’t wanted to remove because they were in love with braces. Strange though, check out for yourself:

• A boy wore his braces and face bow for 6 years and 5 months, then a retainer for a couple years. Then, he had braces put back on because a couple gaps returned (and because he missed having his braces) and have moved a couple more times now. He h as had his braces back on now for 3 years 3 months, for a total of nine years 8 months and counting. And he doesn’t think they’re coming off anytime soon “…not if I can help it anyway” he says.
