Time Frame

Orthodontics is not a one-size-fits-all solution and each patient’s mouth is unique. On average, it takes about 24 months to complete an orthodontic treatment. Some patients require less than 12 months, but there are also patients requiring up to 3 years of treatment before their teeth reach the desired position. We let our patients know their estimated completion date, but it may take longer if they miss appointments, don’t wear their elastics, or disregard our recommendations for proper care.
