Dr. Pautienis addresses timing: How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Your smile is totally unique, so the time you’ll need to spend undergoing orthodontic treatment will also be unique. Generally, orthodontic treatment will take about two years, and this is for good reason. Rushing treatment can result in a less than perfect smile with a greater chance of tooth movement after your treatment is complete.


Of course, treatment time will vary depending on your specific situation. Very minor tooth movement may only take a few months to correct, while serious issues may need more than two years to correct. Cape Cod Braces will be able to accurately estimate the time your treatment will take. It’ll all be worth it in the end!
