Orthodontic treatment can improve tooth alignment and bite problems at almost any age. Treatment often begins during the early teenage years while the teeth and jaws are still developing, but braces and clear aligners can also be effective for adults.
Before starting treatment, the orthodontist will assess your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw development to recommend the most suitable option.
How Long Will I Need Braces?
Treatment time depends on your age, tooth alignment, bite, and the complexity of your case. Most treatments take approximately 12 to 30 months, but your orthodontist will provide a personalized timeline after your consultation.
Once treatment is complete, you’ll need to wear a removable or fixed retainer to help maintain your new smile.
