How long will treatment take?
Although the average treatment time is about 24 months, this varies with individual patients. Adult treatment may take longer than a child’s treatment. Other things to keep in mind are the severity of the problem, the health of the teeth, gums and supporting bone and how closely the patient follows instructions. While orthodontic treatment requires a time commitment, most people feel the benefits are well worth the time invested.
