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

The full length of the orthodontic procedure differs from patient to patient, based on the issue and the treatment method used.

For metal braces, the least possible time to wear them is as little as 7 months. Yet, patients with severe teeth misalignment might be asked to wear them for about 36 months. Metal braces fix crooked teeth and spacing issues.

Clear/ceramic braces may last a bit more than metal braces, from 12 to 36 months normally.
Clear aligners are a treatment that acts quicker than braces; however, they are not appropriate for extreme misalignment problems. They apply pressure to all of the teeth together, as opposed to each tooth like braces do.

Lingual braces might take from 6 to 18 months to straighten mild crowding. They utilise much durable metal than composite braces, which makes them work faster.
