DURATION OF TREATMENT
Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.
Before beginning your orthodontic care, your doctor will discuss all of your options and provide an estimate for how long your full treatment may take. Please contact our practice to schedule an appointment and learn more about orthodontics and the treatments we provide. We will work with you every step of the way to make sure that your orthodontic care is as rewarding as possible.
Early Treatment Is Important to Consider!
Facial Development
By guiding facial development through the use of functional appliances, 80% of the issues can be corrected before adult teeth are present.
Cooperation
Children between the ages of 8 and 11 are often much more cooperative than children between the ages of 12 and 14.
Shorter Treatment Time
Early Phase One treatment can reduce the total time spent in fixed braces.
Correcting Underdeveloped or Overdeveloped Jaws
Functional appliances and/or limited braces can reposition the jaws, improving the child's profile and correcting the bite problem within 6 to 12 months.
