Orthodontic Treatment
Treatment involves putting a wire/brackets on your teeth and regular visits (once a month mostly) for tightening/changing the wire. Each sitting takes only 10-15 minutes.
How long will my treatment take?
Treatment time depends on
- Severity of Problem
- Age of patient
- Regularity of visits
- Type of bone/pace of movement of teeth
- The inclusion of chin caps/headgear or any myofunctional appliance treatment before braces
- Teeth stuck deep within the jaw.
Therefore treatment time can vary between 1-3 years. On a mean, it takes about 16-18 MONTHS (1-1.5 years)
