Are you wondering, “How long do I have to wear braces?” Braces remain one of the most effective ways to get a perfect smile for young people and more adults than ever.
The times you need to wear braces depends on your unique smile. Thus, you’ll need an orthodontist to look at your smile to get a more definite answer. However, we’ll look at the average times to give you an idea.
Average Time Wearing Braces
Due to new technologies and improvements, orthodontic treatment is faster than ever before. Also, it’s more comfortable and affordable with our affordable financing solutions.
On average, you can expect to wear braces between one and three years. However, the actual time will vary significantly. For minor corrections, the time can be shorter. Notably, after your treatment with braces or aligners is finished, you’ll wear a retainer. Time wearing a retainer also varies but may be recommended long-term while you sleep.
Today, modern braces are discreet, with a sleek profile and options for clear brackets that rival clear aligners. With self-ligating braces, you get more comfort and faster results than ever. With the latest technologies, treatment time can be 50% faster and reduce discomfort.
Should I Choose Invisalign or Braces?
Today, Invisalign is an excellent option for millions of people. So, which option is for you? Invisalign tends to take about the same time as braces but not be the best choice for all smiles.
To find out for sure, you’ll need to discuss custom treatment plans with Dr. Peter Chapman, DDS. He’s a certified Gold Invisalign provider with the experience to get the best results in less time.
