How long does treatment last for?

The length of orthodontic treatment varies from patient to patient and is determined by the severity of the case and other variables. Typically however, most cases will take any where between 12-36 months, with the average amount falling closer to two years. In order to effectively go through treatment, it is important to follow your orthodontist’s instructions and attend every one of your appointments. Failing to do so can affect how well your teeth respond and can also stretch out the length of the process.
