It's been about 4 years since I got my braces removed. I don't remember how long I had them on, but I'm fairly sure I had them for longer than I was first told. Like Taboo said, they're not that bad, just really annoying. The strap-thingies are terrible though.

I was given a retainer to wear at night after my braces were taken off now that I think about it. I have no idea where it is anymore.
