How Long Will I Need to Wear Braces?
As soon as you’re told you need braces, your next question is, “For how long?”
Braces aren’t usually welcomed as good news. Having orthodontic treatment is good for your long-term oral health, but it isn’t always the most convenient treatment. You want it over with as soon as possible! The orthodontic specialists at Brackets Wires & Smiles want to treat your smile quickly while ensuring you get the most out of your treatment in the long run.
Braces: Worth the Wait!
There are many options to choose from when it comes to orthodontic treatment. Depending on your budget, you’re not limited to classic metal braces.
Whichever method you use, you can be sure that patiently seeing the treatment through to the end is worth it. Some orthodontic treatment is completed in as little time as a few months. Complex cases can take upwards of two years.
This isn’t a process you can rush! A smile that’s adjusted at the proper rate will last you a lifetime and can help you avoid dental issues later in life.
A Variety of Factors
How long you need your orthodontic treatment to last depends upon factors such as:
- Your age
- How complicated your case is
- Your smile goals
- How well you take care of your teeth
- The method used for straightening your teeth
The only way to know for sure how long treatment will take is to have your individual needs assessed by an expert. It’s not as simple as choosing how long you want to be in treatment!
