Length of Treatment
How Long Will My Treatment Take?
Treatment time varies depending on the growth of the patient’s mouth and face and the severity of their condition. Each patient grows at a different pace. Orthodontic care requires a team approach which includes the family dentist, the orthodontist and the patient; all play key roles in the end result. Patient compliance significantly impacts the overall treatment result. Orthodontic treatment can range from 12 to 30 months; depending on treatment options and individual characteristics.
