Patients often ask orthodontist Dr Tamassios: "How long does orthodontic therapy last?"

The full length of the orthodontic treatment differs from patient to patient, based on the condition and the treatment technique used.

For metal braces, the minimum time to wear them is as little as seven months. Yet, patients with severe teeth misalignment might be asked to have them for around 36 months. Metal braces correct uneven teeth and spacing problems.

Clear/ceramic braces might last a bit more than metal braces, from 12 to 36 months typically.
Clear aligners are a treatment that acts quicker than braces; nevertheless, they are not suitable for serious misalignment problems. They apply pressure to all of the teeth together, in contrast with each tooth like braces do.

Lingual braces may take from 6 to 18 months to straighten moderate crowding. They use much durable metal than composite braces, making them work quicker.
