How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Really Take?

The Short Answer: It Depends

Orthodontic treatment typically lasts 12 to 24 months, but the exact timeline varies based on several factors.

Factors That Affect Treatment Length

  • Severity of alignment or bite issues
  • Type of treatment (braces vs Invisalign)
  • Patient age
  • Consistency with appointments and instructions

Complex cases may take longer, while mild adjustments may be completed sooner.

Why Consistency Matters

Keeping regular appointments and following care instructions helps keep treatment on schedule. Invisalign patients must wear aligners as directed to avoid delays.
