How long does orthodontic treatment take?

The length of your orthodontic treatment will depend on your individual treatment plan and goals. During your consultation with Dr. Kaur, we will discuss your options. Many factors affect the duration of orthodontic treatment, including your treatment goals, the condition of your teeth, type of treatment, and how well you comply with the treatment plan.

Which orthodontic treatment works the fastest?

Many clear aligners can yield rapid results for patients with minimal malocclusions, but traditional braces are also an effective option. Teeth must be moved slowly to prevent damage to the tooth roots. Strict compliance with your prescribed treatment plan will keep the timing on track. Contact Coastal Orthodontics for more information or to schedule an appointment.
