How long does orthodontic treatment take?

The length of orthodontic treatment varies depending on individual factors. On average, orthodontic treatment typically takes anywhere from 12 to 24 months. However, some patients may see results within 6 to 9 months, while others may require over 2 years. The duration depends on the complexity of the case, the severity of the orthodontic problem, and patient compliance. Factors such as age, adherence to treatment guidelines, and the type of orthodontic appliance used also play a role. Our orthodontists will evaluate your specific situation during an initial consultation and develop a personalized treatment plan, including an estimated timeline. Consistency in wearing aligners, braces, or other orthodontic appliances, regular check-ups, and timely adjustments all contribute to achieving desired results within the anticipated time frame.
