Real simple......until your orthodontist tells you are done with active treatment and you are ready for your retainers.
The length of time that braces are needed is patient specific. The best way to find out is to visit an orthodontic office for an initial consultation. At that appointment they will be able to tell you how long you would need to wear braces.
Depends on the difficulty of the case. And, of course, your level of compliance.
The length and time of having to wear braces will depend if the case is mild, moderate or severe. This will be determined by a Orthodontists on patient first visit for a complete evaluation.
Consult with a board certified orthodontist and they will be able to determine if you need braces and estimate how long you may need them for.
Hi!
So it will depend on the type of bite you have and the type of problem as well as your goals. An average orthodontic treatment is 18-24 Months.
