Orthodontic treatment time will vary by patient based on the severity of the misalignment. During an orthodontic consultation, the orthodontist will provide a time range of when braces can be expected to achieve the desired results. It’s important to know that timelines can change however based on how receptive the teeth are to movement, and care of the teeth and braces.
All that said, most patients can expect to wear braces for at least 12 months, with the average being between 18-30 months. Some patients will continue to wear a retainer following orthodontic braces, for additional time as suggested by the orthodontist.
